Notwithstanding multiple departments & agencies, Eknath Shinde to keep an eye to avoid cost and time escalation.
Even after 25 days, CM Eknath Shinde has yet to expand his cabinet in the wake of a mad rush for ministerial berths and also because of ongoing legal and legislative battle, he has decided to personally keep an eye on the development of a slew of infrastructure projects of over Rs 10 lakh crore being proposed in Mumbai Metropolitan Region and rest of Maharashtra. This is for the first time the Chief Minister’s Office (CMO) will be coordinating and driving the development of infrastructure projects to avoid procedural delay and red tapism and facilitate timely coordination and cooperation of various departments and agencies for the project completion. These projects are being implemented by the urban development department and public works department and various agencies including the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation and City and Industrial Development Corporation.
