Push for speedy approval of Metro: civic chief to legislators
Municipal Commissioner Mahesh Zagade has urged legislators and MPs to push for speedy approval of Metro project for the city.
In a meeting with legislators and MPs, Zagade said the city was growing at a faster pace and there was a need to upgrade civic services with the help of union and state governments.
The Metro project proposal is with the state government and waiting for approval from the union government. He said legislators and MPs should urge the government to clear the funds for city projects.
Zagade asked the elected representatives to get the state’s approval for a police force to prevent encroachment in the city.
Congress legislator Mohan Joshi said all party legislators and MPs assured the civic chief of cooperation.
