Maharashtra: CM Uddhav Thackeray instructs officials to fast-track infra projects in Aurangabad

The district officials gave presentations to Thackeray on various issues such as the proposed Aurangabad-Ahmednagar railway route, redevelopment of dilapidated schools from the Nizam-era, starting a college focussing on the saint literature in Paithan among others.

Subhash Desai, senior Shiv Sena leader and Guardian Minister of Aurangabad, said there was no discussion on the renaming of Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar. “The discussion was only on the development projects in the Aurangabad district,” he said.

Since December, Shiv Sena and Congress have been sparring over the renaming of Aurangabad as Sambhaji Nagar.
