Maharashtra Municipalities Demolish Structures to Advance Road Widening Projects
In Maharashtra, municipal authorities are advancing road widening projects to ease traffic congestion. Mumbai's BMC demolished 28 structures near Jhunjhunwala College for the delayed Andheri-Ghatkopar Link Road expansion, with around 250 structures still affected and completion now expected by June 2027. Meanwhile, Panvel Municipal Corporation cleared a structure at Jay Bharat Naka to widen Tilak Road, addressing a long-standing bottleneck. Both efforts involve phased encroachment removals and land acquisition processes aimed at improving traffic flow in their respective areas.
