Ahead of the monsoon season in Mumbai, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday inspected pre-monsoon desilting works in the city, during which he entered a nullah (major drain) in Oshiwara and issued a show-cause notice to a senior civic official for one nullah in Santacruz being unclean, the PTI reported.

CM Shinde also visited the under-construction Gokhale Bridge over the railway tracks in Andheri and asked officials to ensure it is thrown open for public use by Diwali this year, according to the PTI.
