After the formation of new government in Maharashtra, several decisions made by the Uddhav Thackeray-led MVA were reversed, while it slammed the brakes on their certain projects.
Accordingly, it has come to light that now the beautification of Shivaji Park, a pet project of former minister Aaditya Thackeray, will now face tighter scrutiny from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC).
The civic body said it will form a core committee to review the project, which has been opposed by the residents living around the public ground.
The BMC started work on the INR 4.2 crores project at Dadar last year. When Shivaji Park got flooded in the recent rain, the locals attributed it to the beautification work that involves the construction of a mud track and wells to store rainwater.
Shivaji Park locals met officials from G North ward on Tuesday, July 19. After the meeting, it was decided to form a committee for a technical study of the project.
This committee will include BMC officials, residents, and experts. If the experts make any recommendations regarding the project, they will be implemented, officials stated.
Earlier, the former Shiv Sena minister, who is now the Chief Minister of Maharashtra, has reversed Uddhav Thackeray’s decision to make a metro car shed at Kanjurmarg. Now, the BJP government has again proposed to shift it to Aarey.
