According to CM Shinde, the alignment of the road was changed to allow a gap of 120 metres between the road pillars in Worli. This was done to ensure smooth passage of boats used by the fishermen. (Image: PTI)

Last week, CM Shinde said that a world-class Central Park spread over 320 acres will come up along the road. (Image: PTI)
