Ahead of the Ganeshotsav festivity, the Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has directed the district administration to work closely with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) to make the Mumbai-Goa highway and Mumbai-Nashik highway pothole-free.
CM Shinde, under his leadership, held a meeting at the Sahyadri Guest House to discuss the state of the Mumbai-Goa and Mumbai-Nashik highways.
Chief Minister Shinde talked about the importance of safe and comfortable travel for the thousands of pilgrims visiting Konkan during the Ganesh festival. He has ordered that the service roads and bypasses on both highways be strengthened and made free of potholes. The CM also mentioned that this time he will visit both highways to inspect the work progress after August 10.
He also ordered the removal of construction waste from finished road segments. The police administration in Mangaon and Indapur will take extra precautions to lessen traffic congestion during the festival.
The Chief Minister also reviewed the state of the Mumbai-Nashik highway. He directed officials to manage parking spaces for overloaded vehicles parked on the shoulders of local roads in the Bhiwandi district. The local government and the NHAI will together determine the best sites for this purpose.
Further, he directed officials to erect security barriers on the Parshuram Ghat stretch of the Mumbai-Pune expressway and to install reflective road signs. Medical stations and car repair shops will be positioned every ten kilometers for the convenience of devotees.
Chief Minister Shinde promised that every project would be completed quickly and effectively. Senior Thane district officials will be responsible for overseeing these tasks.
