Thane: NCP (SP) MLA Jitendra Awhad demanded a white paper on the recent infra spending done by the Thane Municipal Corporation. He said, “Rs 32,000 crore is being spent in and around Thane city, but will it translate into real benefits for residents of the city?” he questioned while interacting with the media. Awhad said the core responsibility of the corporation was water supply, gutters, and meters, but these remained erratic and unreliable. He also expressed concern over the worsening traffic congestion in the city, claiming the city is unlikely to be freed of congestion for at least the next 10 years.
