Rs 700 crore for MMR development

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has further allocated Rs 700-crore for the development of Mumbai Metropolitan Region and the road network therein. The development of flyovers, creek bridges and road network will certainly provide excellent connectivity with the city of Mumbai as also other areas.

“I want to ensure that any one should be able to reach anywhere in one hour and the commute must be easy, comfortable and congestion-free”, said Devendra Fadnavis. “The Metro corridors are the future of this city. The Mumbaikars should feel proud to use public transport rather than private vehicles. Use of public transport saves time, fuel and also improves environment”, said the Chief Minister.
