Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday strongly defended the Mumbai-Pune Expressway 'Missing Link' project after a recent landslide near the route, saying initial challenges are inevitable in major infrastructure works.
Replying to a discussion in the state assembly on heavy rains and flood management, Fadnavis accused the project's critics of spreading falsehoods on TV and social media through hired trolls, and warned those defaming Maharashtra with misinformation would not be spared.
