With an eye at BMC elections:     Notably, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has set its eyes on the cash-rich Mumbai civic body to dislodge the rival Shiv Sena (Uddhav Balasaheb Thackeray) faction from power in the civic elections, the schedule for which is yet to be announced. 

The 18.6 km-long Mumbai Metro Rail line 2A connects suburban Dahisar (East) with the 16.5 km-long DN Nagar (yellow line) while the metro line 7 joints Andheri (East) with Dahisar (East). Interestingly, the foundation stones of these lines were laid by PM Modi in 2015.

The Card will initially be used in metro corridors and can be extended to other modes of mass public transit including local trains and buses as well, the release said. 

Commuters will not need to carry multiple cards or cash, it said, adding the NCMC card will enable quick, contact-less digital transactions, easing the process with a seamless experience.

The Prime Minister will inaugurate 20 "Hinduhridaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Aapla Dawakhana" clinics. The "Aapla Dawakhana" initiative provides essential medical services like health check-ups, medicines, investigations and diagnostics free, to the people.

According to Prime Minister's Office (PMO), PM Modi will also launch a road concretisation project worth Rs 6,100 crore for around 400 km of roads in the megapolis. Of the total roads extending to around 2,050 Km in Mumbai, more than 1,200 Km of roads are either concretized or are in the process of being concretized. However, the remaining roads of about 850 km in length face challenges of potholes which severely impact transportation. The road concretisation project is aimed to overcome this challenge. These concrete roads will ensure fast travel along with enhanced security, while also providing better drainage facilities and utility ducts will ensure regular digging of roads is avoided, the release said.

“He will also lay the foundation stone for Central Railway’s Kalyan yard remodelling and the Gati Shakti MultiModal Cargo Terminal at Turbhe in Navi Mumbai. Additionally, he will dedicate new platforms at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus and the extension of platforms 10 and 11 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to the nation,” news agency PTI quoted an official as saying.

This revamped terminus can accommodate longer trains, allowing more passengers per train and improving the station’s capacity to handle increased traffic. It will help in the augmentation of trains up to 24 coaches, thus increasing the number of passengers carried, the PM’s office added.

PM Modi is also expected to launch the Mukhyamantri Yuva Karya Prashikshan Yojana, a transformative internship program aimed at addressing youth unemployment, with an outlay of around Rs 5,600 crore.

Mumbai News Updates: Earlier, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated two lines of the Mumbai Metro - 2A and 7 - and inaugurated several development projects at BKC's MMRDA grounds

• Follow us: Facebook Twitter Telegram Google News

Mumbai News Updates:  Lauding development in Mumbai, PM Modi said that the ‘jodi’ of CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis would make the dreams of Mumbai’s citizens come true. The PM was addressing a public rally at the MMRDA grounds in Mumbai’s BKC. Earlier, Prime Minister Modi inaugurated two lines of the Mumbai Metro – 2A and 7 – and inaugurated several development projects. Meanwhile, entry of heavy vehicles has been banned on the Western Express Highway until 9:00 pm, the Mumbai Traffic Police said.

Large size cut outs of PM Modi, Shiv Sena founder Balasaheb Thackeray, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his deputy Devendra Fadnavis have been put up at Mumbai’s at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC). The cutouts have also been put up outside former CM Uddhav Thackeray’s residence in Bandra. The worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Shinde’s Shiv Sena faction are expected to gather at the venue around 1 pm, in a massive show of strength for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally. Commuters travelling to and from the suburbs must track traffic police’s advisory as snarls are expected on the Western Express Highway and Bandra East. The highway will remain impacted till 7 pm amid elaborate security arrangements for the prime minister’s one-day visit.

PM Modi will lay the foundation stone of projects worth around Rs 38,800 crore and flag off two metro lines. While Mumbai Metro Rail Lines 2A will run between Andheri and west Dahisar, line 7 will run between Andheri east and Dahisar. The police have also banned flying activities under the limits of police stations at Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) and nearby areas in Mumbai.

PM Modi is scheduled to attend a function at Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) grounds in the Bandra Kurla Complex, an upscale commercial hub, where he will inaugurate and lay foundation stones of the projects. He is also expected to make a few announcements ahead of the civic polls. Elections to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC), the country’s richest civic body, are due since last year. The prime minister is likely to address a public rally during his visit to the financial capital.

Some local reports stated that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers are expected to gather at the BKC ground by 1 pm on Thursday, as the Western Express Highway will be kept closed for security reasons. This is PM Modi’s first visit to the city after the Eknath Shinde-led government came to power with the help of the BJP. The two parties are expected to put up a show of strength in Mumbai.

Arrangements for PM Modi’s Visit

The use of drones and other flying objects around Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), Andheri and Jogeshwari have been banned for 24 hours.

The order issued by DCP (Operations), Mumbai Police, Vishal Thakur stated, “Due to the situation prevailing in the areas under the control of the Commissioner of Police, Brihanmumbai, it is apprehended that during the Prime Minister of India’s Mumbai visit on January 19 at BKC MMRDA Ground, Metro Line no. 7, Gundavali Station to Mograpada Metro Station that anti-social elements may attack using drones, paragliders, remote control microlight aircraft and there is every likelihood breach of peace and disturbance of public tranquility and also there is grave danger to the human life, health, safety and injury to public property.”

“No drone, para-gliders, remote control microlight aircraft flying activities to be allowed in the jurisdiction of BKC police station, Andheri police station, Meghwadi police Station and Jogeshwari police Station,” the order further stated.

Why Are the Two Metro Lines Important?

Metro Line 2A, from Dahisar to DN Nagar, is an 18.6 km long elevated corridor with 17 stations and connects the Western, Central Mumbai and the Northern suburban Mumbai, reducing the current travel time by anything between 50 per cent and 75 per cent depending on road conditions, as per MMRDA.

Metro Line 7, running between Andheri (E) and Dahisar (E), is a 16.5-km elevated corridor with 13 stations. The project cost Rs 6,208 crore. The 10.7-km first phase, between Dahisar and Aarey with nine stations, started in April 2022. The remaining four stations in 5.8 km will start operations from Friday.

Other Projects

Besides the flagging off of metro lines, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will also lay foundation stones for setting up two hospitals, and a new sewerage treatment plant in Mumbai to prevent the mixing of sewage water into the sea.

Traffic Likely to be Affected in THESE Mumbai Areas:

The Ghatkopar-Versova Metro Blue Line 1 will shut services for 1 hour 45 minutes in the middle of the evening peak hour to facilitate the visit of Prime Minister to Gundavli station of Red Line 7 along the Western Express Highway for the opening of two new corridors of Mumbai Metro.

Mumbai Traffic Police said there would be slow movement of traffic on South bound carriageway from 4.15 pm to 5.30 pm and North bound carriageway of the Western Express Highway from 5.30 pm to 6.45 pm. Roads leading to and from Bandra Kurla Complex and Gundavali Metro station are likely to remain affected today.

Mumbai Traffic Police yesterday tweeted, “Due to planned public function in BKC & Gundavali Metro station tomorrow, expect slow movement of traffic on South bound carriageway from 4.15 pm to 5.30 pm and North bound carriageway of WEH from 5.30 pm to 6.45 pm. Citizens are advised to plan commute accordingly.”

Maharashtra CM, His Deputy Cancel Davos Visit

Chief minister Eknath Shinde had to cut short his trip to the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Switzerland’s Davos, while deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis cancelled his trip for PM Modi’s visit. Shinde’s visit to Davos is likely to bring investment opportunities for Maharashtra. The two leaders will be present for all the events of the prime minister in Mumbai.

Modi's visit to CJI's home upsets Sena (UBT) over pending MLA disqualification case

This visit is against protocol; there were doubts in the minds of people about why supreme court is delaying order on cases against shinde, shiv sena (ubt) said.

Mumbai: Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the residence of Chief Justice of India Dhananjay Chandrachud for Ganesh Darshan has ignited controversy in Maharashtra, as the hearing and verdict on Shiv Sena MLA disqualification and party name-symbol cases have been pending for over nine months.

The Uddhav Thackeray-led Shiv Sena (UBT) expressed dissatisfaction over the delay and raised concerns about protocol. Sanjay Raut, a Member of Parliament, said, "This visit of PM to CJI home is against the protocol. There were doubts in the mind of people about why Supreme Court delaying the hearing and order on cases against Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his supporter MLAs in the Shiv Sena MLAs disqualification case. This visit by PM to CJI's home has given more room for the doubts."

Raut further questioned the integrity of the judicial process, asking, "How can they expect justice from SC in such situation?" He noted that the Chief Justice himself had previously ruled against the appointment of a whip by Chief Minister Shinde and criticised the assembly speaker's decision as not adhering to the established framework. Despite this, Raut pointed out that there had been no progress in the matter, with only hearing dates being announced for months.

In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Raut shared a photo of Modi performing a pooja at the Chief Justice's home, stating, "Constitution has been burnt by its own lamp. No decision on MLAs disqualification case for two years. SC took cognizance of rape case in West Bengal but kept silent on the Maharashtra case. Tarikh pe Tarikh on Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal bail plea. Try to understand the chronology."

BJP leader Kirit Somaiya rebuked the criticism from the Thackeray faction. "When Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited Lalbaugcha Raja, the leaders of Thackeray faction objected to it. Now PM Modi visited CJI Chandrachud's home for Ganesh darshan and again Thackeray faction leaders are objecting to it. They are insulting Lord Ganesh," Somaiya said.

Naresh Mhaske, a Shiv Sena MP aligned with Chief Minister Shinde's faction, also criticised Raut for questioning the Chief Justice. "We should feel proud that in the form of Dhananjay Chandrachud, a Marathi manoos is CJI of India. However, Raut has questioned his integrity. It's an insult to Marathi pride. I condemn Raut for doing so," Mhaske remarked.

‘Shows bias against Hindu festivals’: Devendra Fadnavis on row over PM’s visit to CJI’s house for Ganpati puja

Maharashtra deputy chief minister devendra fadnavis also referred to former prime minister manmohan singh hosting an iftar party that then cji k g balakrishnan had attended..

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Thursday hit out at those criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Chief Justice of India (CJI) D Y Chandrachud’s residence on Wednesday to participate in a Ganpati puja, saying that it was an indication of the growing hatred and prejudice against Hindu festivals.

Questioning why the visit had “created a flutter”, Fadnavis said that the allegations of proximity between the PM and the CJI were “unfounded and baseless”.

“The reaction from rivals is so aggressive. It is as if the sky has fallen. It makes one wonder, why should the PM’s visit to the CJI residence to participate in the Ganesh festival evoked such sharp reactions? Is it because it is a Hindu festival?” Fadnavis said.

PM Modi’s visit to CJI Chandrachud’s residence has sparked a controversy with leaders like Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Sanjay Raut questioning if the Uddhav Thackeray faction would get justice in the Supreme Court. The BJP and its allies were quick to hit back on Thursday, saying that “casting such baseless aspersions on the highest court sets a dangerous precedent”.

Fadnavis also referred to former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh hosting an iftar party that then CJI K G Balakrishnan had attended. “During the Congress regime, a former PM had organised an Iftar party at his residence in which the then Chief Justice of India participated. The PM and then CJI were seen talking to each other at the party,” he said.

“Yet, nobody raised any objection because it was an Iftar party. Now, the only difference is it is a Ganesh festival,” Fadnavis said, adding that this “clearly shows growing bias against Hindu festivals”.

Fadnavis also pointed out that CJI Chandrachud hails from Maharashtra and celebrates the Ganesh festival every year with an idol made by an artisan from the state.

On Wednesday night, after paying a visit to the CJI’s residence, PM Modi had said in a post on X, “Joined Ganesh Puja at the residence of CJI, Justice DY Chandrachud Ji. May Bhagwan Shri Ganesh bless us all with happiness, prosperity and wonderful health.”
