The Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) led by Hitendra Thakur has claimed that in an infrastructural boost to the Vasai taluka, two roll-on, roll-off, also known as 'ro-ro' ferry services will soon become operational. The two routes will be from Vasai Fort to Bhayandar Jetty and from Narangi to Saphale.
"The whole effort is to ease people's woes and channelise the traffic in a way that is effective as well as time-saving. In the near future, the ro-ro service will be an integral pillar of the transport system in Maharashtra," said BVA president and Vasai MLA Hitendra Thakur.
The decision was taken after a delegation from Mumbai Maritime Board (MMB), led by MMB CEO Dr Manik Gursal, and Bahujan Vikas Aghadi (BVA) delegation led by Hitendra Thakur and Nallasopara MLA Kshitij Thakur, formed a committee and conducted a meeting to survey and finalise the route considering the ease of commute and the amount of water traffic along the route.
