The GoI has the full support of GoM in the 701 km Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Mahamarg: Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray

The Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray has requested the Prime Minister in a letter, stating that he has the full support of the Government of Maharashtra in the formation of the Mumbai-Nagpur and Mumbai-Pune Hyderabad High-Speed Railway (HSR) corridor. This letter comes at a time when the fate of the Mumbai Ahmedabad bullet train project with a budget of Rs 1.1 lakh crore is in pause over land acquisition issues. 

 

“If we work together, that will be working here as if the Government of India and Government of Maharashtra together work on the 701 km Mumbai-Nagpur Samruddhi Mahamarg, it will help the execution of the Mumbai Nashik Nagpur HSR in the earliest,” stated Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray in his letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

 

He further stated that “The Mumbai-Nagpur HSR will be under the Samruddhi Mahamarg Right-of-Way (RoW) up to Jalna, now it may be further extended to Hyderabad. The Government of Maharashtra has in the earlier times approved the expressway lying between Jalna and Nanded.”

 

After the letter sent was sent by the Chief Minister of Maharashtra Uddhav Thackeray, the Union Minister of Maharashtra declared that soon a meeting will be held between both of them in a way to accomplish the project. “It will be a request to Government of India that when the Government of Maharashtra is assisting the Mumbai-Nagpur HSR within the Right-of-Way (RoW) of the Samruddhi Mahamarg, it should take up the Mumbai-Hyderabad through Jalna-Nanded and also with the new route between Pune-Aurangabad,” stated the Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray.
