It seems that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to keep aside the fact that it wasted most of the Rs 700-crore that it spent on the skywalk project for now, for after promising that it would not take it up, the authority has decided to construct a skywalk from Thane to Vitava (Kalwa) for over Rs 20-crore. MMRDA says it has decided this after a special request from Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ office.

In the month of March MMRDA had said that it would not take up skywalk projects, and would focus on major infrastructure projects like metros, flyovers and roads. However in less than six months the authority has taken a U turn.
