THANE: Chief minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday announced that Thane will be free of potholes before the next monsoon. The CM was speaking at the inauguration of several developmental works in Thane.
Shinde also claimed that in six months, the city will witness major development with regards to roads, cleanliness, public toilets and health services.
He said, “The state government has allotted funds of ₹605 for developmental works in Thane. In the next six months 100% of the roads will turn into cement concrete roads. A total of 142 kms of road works will be done. We will also focus on how it can be turned into a green space. Works will be taken up for beautification, cleanliness, better roads and bridges.”
He added that everyone should work with the sentiment that it is their Thane. “For the development of Thane, I will take efforts with priority and every officer and elected representative should focus on quality work. I believe Thane will see major changes in six months,” the CM said.
The CM also asked the Thane Municipal Corporation officials to conduct free health camps for sanitation workers and their family.
Awhad skips event
Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Jitendra Awhad, who was also invited to the programme, chose to give a miss to the event.
“Some projects are being launched by the CM in the Thane Municipal Corporation. The corporation has invited me, but during the opening of a bridge, even after being eight feet away from him, a case under 354 IPC was registered against me. Today, if I go nearby, the police will file a case of pickpocketing against me,” he tweeted.
