Infrastructure Concerns Raised by Leaders
“The incident in Mumbra Kalwa is unfortunate” said BJP leader Kirit Somaiya. “We have not been able to expand the transportation system at the same rate as the population in the Thane to Dombivli area has grown. For this reason metro work has received more attention from the Devendra Fadnavis administration. In addition to a direct rail connection to Diwali that avoids Thane efforts are being made to increase the capacity of alternate roads by increasing the number of coaches to 15 each. It will require two to five years. During this period passengers are only asked to adhere to this rule.
"मुंब्रा कळवा येथील घटना दुर्दैवी आहे"
ठाणे ते डोंबिवली परिसरातील लोकसंख्या ज्या गतीने वाढली त्या गतीने आपण वाहतूक व्यवस्था वाढवू शकलो नाही.
म्हणूनच देवेंद्र फडणवीस सरकारने मेट्रोच्या कामावर अधिक लक्ष केंद्रित केले आहे.
पर्यायी रस्त्यांची क्षमता वाढवणे आणि त्याच बरोबर ठाणे…
