Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is set to inaugurate a slew of civic infrastructure projects next week.
The CM’s move to inaugurate these projects comes in the wake of Assembly polls, which is likely to take place in November.
Most of these projects include beautification and restoration work of some of the key heritage and tourist places in Mumbai.
According to Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) officials, CM Shinde along with deputy chief ministers Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar will conduct the ground-breaking (bhoomi poojan) ceremony of the proposed beautification work in Mumbadevi temple, Food Park facility at Badhwar Park (Cuffe Parade), proposed promenade at Mahim beach, Fashion Street beautification plan and installation of ‘pink toilets’ in multiple locations in the city.
The said projects were announced in multiple phases by guardian ministers–Mangal Prabhat Lodha and Deepak Kesarkar–and civic officials said the construction work for these projects will begin immediately after the Bhoomi poojan ceremony.
