A meeting was held today at the Minister’s chamber in the state legislature to address the concerns of residents from Sahyadri Mitra Mandal Chawl Committee, Mahatma Phule Nagar (Shindewadi), and areas near Yashwantrao Chavan National Highway in Mankhurd.

The meeting was attended by MLA Sana Malik Shaikh, PWD Secretary (Roads) Sanjay Dashpute, Deputy Secretary Sudhir Shingade, and other relevant officials.

Minister Bhosale stated that unauthorized structures, including slums and shops, had been found within the highway’s jurisdiction. For safety reasons, these encroachments have been removed.
