Yuva Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray today met Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to draw his attention to 'the lack of security' at Juhu aerodrome in Mumbai.
"Met Fadnavisji to discuss two major issues- lack of security at the Juhu aerodrome and the proposed Mumbai Garden at Race Course," the son of Shiv Sena President Uddhav Thackeray said.

He discussed the old demand to develop the Mahalaxmi Racecourse into a garden for the city and construction of the racecourse on the outskirts. Currently, the racecourse's lease is over and a decision is awaited from the state government about the Sena-proposed theme park on the open space.

I had written a letter to Central Govt in 2014 about the lack of security personnel at Juhu Aerodrome, making Mumbai vulnerable to terrorism

"We need to have CISF protect such a sensitive Aerodrome at Juhu," he said.
"The CM has agreed to act upon my request. Juhu Aerodrome urgently needs CISF cover to avoid attack through that installation," Aaditya said.
He also demanded that the upkeep of the Western Express Highway be handed over to the BMC completely.
WEH being handled and maintained by a single authority, publicly elected, would help make it more transparent, fix responsibility for it
