MUMBAI: Maharashtra assembly speaker Rahul Narvekar on Tuesday asked the state to come up with a comprehensive report on how many bridges in Mumbai are to be rebuilt, of them how many are underway and to be reconstructed later, and the timeframe to complete them so that people know how long and where the present traffic woes will continue.
"Submit a detailed information in the house," ruled Narvekar in his unexpected dictate to the minister Uday Samant after all party legislators raised the issue of unprecedented traffic jams triggered by ongoing infrastructure works across Mumbai such as the reconstruction of crucial Gokhale bridge in Andheri. The issue saw Thackeray and Shinde factions coming face to face accusing each other of delaying project works and creating traffic chaos in the city.
