The first arm of ambitious project by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in Mumbai, Coastal Road aimed at easing traffic in the the city, finally will be open for public from Tuesday. However, only phase 1 will be inaugurated, and the Shiv Sena (UBT) has decided to boycott the event citing that the project is incomplete. The first arm of the road, Marine drive to Worli will be inaugurated by CM Eknath Shinde on Monday.
The invitation by the BMC mentions local Member of Parliament from Colaba, Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena UBT) and MLA from Worli Aaditya Thackeray as chief guests. However, speaking with mid-day Arvind Sawant has confirmed that the party leaders will not attend the inauguration event. "What is the point is inaugurating a project which is not complete? The BJP is expert in taking credit for the projects initiated by previous governments and other parties. Aaditya Thackeray and Uddhav Thackeray has taken outmost efforts to initiate the Coastal Road project, starting from holding meeting with local residents who were initially against the project."
