MP Milind Deora feels the city is in dire need of more infrastructure projects

Excerpts:

On his initiatives in his constituency...
Though it doesn't come under the ambit of constitutional duties as an MP, I've started a computerisation project in state-aided schools in my constituency. We have selected the poorest of schools and set up computer laboratories in as many as 100 of them. Information Technology (IT) may not be part of their syllabus, but I want the children to know the basics of IT. We just asked the school authorities for a room and provided them with necessary hardware free of cost.

On the Peddar Road flyover project...
Emotions shouldn't dictate infrastructure projects but long-term planning by the state government should take place in a transparent manner.
