Abstract

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde has urged the Indian government to expedite the Marathwada Water Grid project for river linking in order to make the Marathwada region drought-free. Shinde emphasized the need to use rainwater in the Konkan region judiciously and increase irrigation. He also requested the Centre's assistance in accelerating river linking projects in the state. The Chief Minister outlined various river linking projects, including the diversion of water from west-flow rivers to the Godavari basin, which would benefit farmers and citizens in multiple districts. Shinde also raised concerns about onion procurement, soybean prices, milk adulteration, and the development of Mumbai Port Trust land. Additionally, he called for the approval of the Thane metro project and the Pune Nashik Semi High-Speed Railway Project, among others. [Extracted from the article]
