Chief Minister Eknath Shinde laid foundation stones and inaugurated a slew of projects mooted for the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) by legislators Pratap Sarnaik and Geeta Jain on Sunday evening.

Shinde speaks on the occasion
Speaking on the occasion, Shinde said, “Various projects including the Metro were stalled in the last two-and-a-half years but our government has taken them up on priority. Our double engine government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been joined by one more engine, which will add more speed in launching people-centric schemes,” he said.
