Said he had only halted the Aarey Metro car shed; other infra projects on track
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had stalled the Aarey metro car shed project
The CM said he wanted some more projects launched in addition to the ones that were undertaken and are now in different stages. "I also have some other projects on my mind. We would also implement them."
Bullet train funds may be diverted
Officers who were put in charge of some greenfield projects by ex-CM Devendra Fadnavis were also summoned for the meeting and asked to present the current situation. The new CM tried to understand every aspect of the projects planned. Some of them were handled by his party's ministers in the previous government, said another officer.
Thackeray said that the bullet train project wasn't discussed at the meeting. There were speculations that the money earmarked for the project (R5,000 crore) would be diverted elsewhere, possibly the farmers' welfare.
