Rao also stated that any project unlikely to be completed before the monsoon should commence only after the rainy season
As part of the monsoon preparedness, Rao inspected the works at Eastern Express Highway, Kapurbawdi Junction, Ghodbunder Road, service roads, and Gaimukh Ghat on Thursday
These works include road concretisation, sewer-cleaning, laying of water pipelines, and replacement of sewage lines – all of which are to be completed by 20 May. The civic commissioner also directed the officials to remove unnecessary barricades, pipelines, debris, and other leftover materials from Metro works that have been completed
He also undertook inspections of the ongoing water pipeline works near the service road adjacent to Jupiter Hospital on the Eastern Express Highway, the Metro works at Kapurbawdi Junction, and both Metro and water pipeline projects from the petrol pump near CineWonder Mall to Nalpada Junction
Rao has appealed to citizens to cooperate with the authorities during the ongoing works and avoid driving on the wrong side
