Mumbai, May 15 : Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has written to Chief Minister Eknath Shinde demanding that various critical infrastructure projects coming up in Mumbai be ‘named’ after top icons.
In his letter of March 16 — which was released late on Sunday — Fadnavis has mentioned the soon-to-be-operational Mumbai Coastal Road, the Bandra-Versova Sea Link, and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link projects in his wish-list.
Fadnavis has demanded that the Mumbai Coastal Road project be named after the historical icon, ‘Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj’ — which Shinde has already accepted with an announcement to the effect.
The Deputy CM wants the northern extension of the existing 5.6 kms long Rajiv Gandhi Bandra Worli Sea Link — the upcoming Bandra-Versova Sea Link to be named after ‘Swatantryaveer Vinayak D.Savarkar’ — and the MTHL liking Mumbai with the mainland in memory of the late Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee.
