Maha: Fadnavis takes dig at Rahul Gandhi over Make in India
Nagpur, June 22 (UNI) Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Sunday took a dig at senior Congress leader and Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, for having no knowledge of the 'Make in India' initiative. Talking to reporters after reviewing various projects here, he claimed that Rahul Gandhi does not even know what is the Make in India. "Rahul Gandhi does not know what is being built in the country, so he does not know Make in India. When the Congress was in power, India's economy was the 11th largest in the world. However. in last 10 years, India has become the fourth largest economy in the world," the CM said and asked Rahul Gandhi to do his homework on this. Fadnavis reviewed various projects in Nagpur such as underground electricity in connection with the construction of STP on the Nag river and vehicle parking outside the city. UNI SP SS

Metro, rail and bus hubs in MMRDA's plan for Dharavi
Mumbai: Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) was appointed as the nodal agency to plan and develop a Multimodal Transport Hub (MMTH) as part of Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP).
