Overview
- Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik inspected the site on November 8 and issued strict orders to complete the move by November 13.
- The plaza is planned to shift near Western Hotel, roughly 2 km ahead of the current location, to ease persistent bottlenecks for Mira-Bhayandar commuters.
- Officials have been told to remove encroachments and illegal structures at the relocation site, with Sarnaik promising to personally monitor the work.
- An earlier November 8 timeline slipped after NHAI asked MSRDC for a detailed technical proposal rather than a general plan.
- Sarnaik also highlighted upcoming strict enforcement of the ‘No PUC, No Fuel’ rule across Maharashtra to reduce vehicle pollution.
