Is the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) intentionally delaying the opening of the newly constructed domestic airport flyover on the Western Express Highway (WEH)? Shiv Sena (UBT) Leader Aaditya Thackeray has accused MMRDA of deliberately postponing the opening. He has attributed this delay to the unavailability of the chief minister for the inauguration. Thackeray has also voiced serious concern about the delayed opening of a section of the Gokhale bridge.

In a tweet, Thackeray said, “This is the flyover at the domestic airport junction that has been fully ready for a week, and not inaugurated because the illegal CM has no time for the people. Every night, light poles are switched on and Mumbaikars are stuck in traffic for hours. It is so annoying to see Mumbai being made to plead for such basics, while the shameless regime ignores the pain of Mumbaikars. I challenge the illegal CM, to keep his ego aside and ask the @MMRDAOfficial to open it up today itself. Let’s see if he can set his ego aside.”
