Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Sunday said the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) was growing and his government was making all efforts to provide amenities and augment infrastructure. He was speaking at an event in Thane where he inaugurated some civic projects and laid the foundation stones of upcoming ones.

Thane had received Rs 323 crore as part of the Amrut Yojana and it was a good example of the state benefitting when there is a friendly dispensation at the Centre, Shinde said.
