Aaditya Thackeray

The Maharashtra government and the BJP have been at loggerheads since CM Uddhav Thackeray announced shifting of the metro car shed project to Kanjurmarg.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had last month announced the scrapping of the Metro-3 car shed at the Aarey Colony in suburban Goregaon.

Aaditya Thackeray further explained that the ruling government in the state is "firmly committed to policy building and changes for sustainable development."

Aaditya Thackeray visited the headquarters of the BMC, controlled by his party Shiv Sena, to take stock of the situation after overnight torrential rains flooded parts of Mumbai and disrupted rail and road traffic on Wednesday in what has become an annual occurrence during the monsoon.

Though Raut didn't take any name, he said the Opposition still cannot digest the fact that the Sena-led government is in power in the state.

The Shiv Sena leader said dirty politics is being played following the death of the Bollywood actor and without naming anyone, added that the allegation being levelled is political stomach-ache stemming from frustration.

The Maharashtra Cabinet Minister shared Morani’s post where she exhorted the importance of plasma donation to save lives and wrote: “That takes some courage.”

After an English daily published a report claiming that women staffers of the pre-monsoon workforce were not getting equal remuneration, Thackeray took to Twitter to seek immediate remedial action on it

Maharashtra Cabinet minister and Shiv Sena leader Aaditya Thackeray opposed Raut's suggestion, saying grounds of stadiums have mud base and they won't be usable during monsoons.

He assured all university students of Maharashtra that state higher education minister Uday Samant is already in consultation with the Vice-Chancellors of respective universities.

The protest took place hours after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced an extension of the coronavirus-enforced lockdown till May 3.

The civic body launched the drive from February 29, with an to make Mumbai free of single-use plastic by May 1 this year, in line with the Maharashtra government's recent announcement.

In 2018, the Maharashtra government had imposed a ban on manufacturing, use, sale, distribution and storage of plastic materials such as one-time-use bags, spoons and plates, among others.

"Nightlife is not a proper word for what we have decided today. It's Mumbai 24x7 service for selected areas of the city. The date of its implementation is yet to be decided. We are looking for safe and secure places. We will keep police arrangements in mind," Chavan said.

The awards were announced at an awareness programme held in Worli. A cheque of Rs 1.5 Lakh was given by the BMC to the winners of different categories for maintaining cleanliness on their premises.

This is the first meeting between the two leaders after the Shiv Sena formed the coalition government in Maharashtra with the Congress and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP).
