The department plans to inaugurate the building by May. The excise department – one of the oldest departments of the state – is set to get its headquarters first time after its inception in 1878. The flyover was jointly built by the Greater Mumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). Vehicular traffic on the flyover will be shut but the road underneath it will be functional and the vehicles will be diverted accordingly by the traffic police. As the bridge gets older, there is a need for repairing its bearings. The official said the flyover is a crucial link for connecting Mumbai's eastern and western suburbs and the motorists use it to reach Thane from WEH and vice versa. The Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) flyover which connects Link Road in Jogeshwari (West) and Western Express Highway (WEH) will remain shut for vehicular traffic for around 12 days from May 13 for carrying out repairs works.Īccording to an official of the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), which will be undertaking the repair work of the JVLR bridge, the joints of the flyover will be replaced and the repair work will be carried out between May 13 and May 24. So, it was suggested to the Home Department to amend the proposal suitably and then bring it before the cabinet,” said a source. And it is possible that the district administration can come under the influence of the local political leadership and may force them to withdraw the cases. “The view was that if the powers were given to these regional committees, the state government would not have any control over it. The government had proposed to withdraw such cases filed between January 2020 and December 2021.Ī source close to the development said that the proposal came up for discussion in a cabinet meeting held last month and a senior Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) minister raised an objection to the proposal.
Though it had earlier proposed to withdraw cases against political and social activists and had authorised regional administrative committees to take a call on the matter, the Maharashtra government now seems to be wanting to control the withdrawal of cases in which chargesheets have been filed against activists in case of political and social protests across the state.
