December 2028 has been set as the deadline for the completion of the Borivli-Thane underground tunnel beneath the Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP) in Mumbai. In fact, the Maharashtra government wants every infrastructure project to be planned in such a manner that they are all executed within a three-year timeframe. On Thursday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis chaired a meeting to review the proposed tunnel project work.

In the meeting, Fadnavis urged the officials and authorities concerned to complete the tunnel work by December 2028. “All infrastructure work should be planned in such a manner that the entire work is completed within a three-year timeframe,” Fadnavis emphasised during the meeting.

Besides Fadnavis, Deputy CM Eknath Shinde, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority commissioner Sanjay Mukherjee, Municipal Commissioner Bhushan Gagrani, and senior officials from the Thane Slum Rehabilitation Authority and the forest department were present for the meeting held on Vidhan Bhavan premises.
