Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directs the Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) to complete infrastructure projects in Mumbai at a faster level, an official said here on Wednesday.

CM has also reprimanded civic officials for the delays in completing key infrastructure projects and questioned why the municipal corporation takes years to finish projects while the central government completes similar works in two to three years.

The meeting held at the Vidhan Bhavan secretariat and was attended by BMC Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani and other senior officials.

Fadnavis instructed the civic body to expedite major projects like the Goregaon-Mulund Link Road and the Versova-Bhayander Coastal Road.

One of the key areas of concern was the Bridges Department, which has a poor track record, often taking six to eight years to complete a single project. Additional Municipal Commissioner (Projects) Abhijit Bangar has now started making regular site visits to speed up progress.

When asked for specific deadlines, BMC assured Fadnavis that Andheri’s Gokhale Bridge would be completed by April 30, the Vikhroli East-West Bridge by May 31, the Carnac Bridge by June 10 and the Vidyavihar East-West Bridge by December 31.
