In yet another major bureaucratic reshuffle, Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has removed Ashwini Bhide from the position of the head of Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) which is constructing the underground Metro 3. Bhide's tenure was vividly marked by a tussle with Shiv Sena leaders who opposed the Metro car shed inside Aarey.

Ranjit Singh Deol, who steered the state transport corporation, has replaced Bhide, who was not given any new charge till late Tuesday evening.
