The process of making the city completely pothole-free by concreting the roads in Mumbai has started. After the rain stops, the work of making cement roads will speed up. Therefore, the Chief Minister said that the roads in Mumbai will be pothole-free in the next two to two and a half years. He said that many people from all over Maharashtra are joining Shiv Sena, not only from Mumbai. 

Chief Minister Eknath Shinde also said that those who joined the Shiv Sena today will definitely be given development funds to complete the stalled development works in their wards.
