Mumbai: Two days after the land acquisition process for the proposed Shaktipeeth Expressway was halted in the wake of protests, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said his government was considering the possibility of realigning the project.
"Projects will not be imposed on the people and also will not be implemented without taking them into confidence," he said.
