The CM's resignation leaves a question mark on many tasks that were in the pipeline while Ashok Chavan was in the hot seat
The CM's resignation leaves a question mark on many tasks that were in the pipeline while Ashok Chavan was in the hot seat. Here are a few which could take a while before they see the light of day...Trans harbour Link The MSRDC and the MMRDA has put up proposals for construction of the Mumbai trans harbour link, and outgoing CM Ashok Chavan was to decide shortly which one would construct it.
"With the change in guard, the project will be delayed as the new CM will have to study the plans prepared by MMRDA and MSRDC," said a senior MMRDA official.
Transport expert Sudhir Badami said the project cost has doubled from Rs 4,000 crore in 2008.
He said the bridge will reduce truck traffic that drive to the Mumbai Port Trust daily, consequently reducing pollution and traffic.
Airport plan The new international airport that was expected to come up in Navi Mumbai will also be held up. CIDCO, which the CM heads, was to construct the project and a presentation was recently made to a committee appointed by the Union government. A decision was expected soon.
With the change in CM, it is likely that the government could scout for another airport site.
Dharavi to slum it outMeant to transform lives of over 57,000 familiesu00a0 living in Asia's biggest slum, the Dharavi Redevelopment Project, which has already been delayed by over six years, will be delayed further as the new CM, who will also head the housing portfolio, will have to study the project before taking any decision.
During the long wait, the number of bidders has dropped from 19 who were shortlisted to seven in the last two years.
