This move follows concerns from over 20 companies threatening relocation due to these issues. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and Industries Minister Uday Samant have directed multiple departments to implement a 10-month action plan, including pothole repairs and integrated traffic management, alongside establishing an Industry Grievance Redressal Cell to expedite solutions.
