Maharashtra: Won't let anyone obstruct development projects, CM Thackeray assures Nitin Gadkari

NAGPUR: Days after union road transport minister  Nitin Gadkari  wrote to him about alleged obstruction by local Shiv Sena leaders in national highway projects in  Maharashtra , Chief Minister  Uddhav Thackeray  assured him on Friday that he would not allow anyone to stop development work. 

Thackeray, along with union ministers Gadkari and  Hardeep Singh Puri , inaugurated operations on the Sitabuldi-Zero Mile Freedom Park-Kasturchand Park segment of  Nagpur Metro . While Gadkari was present on the spot, Thackeray and Puri took part in the function virtually. A letter written by Gadkari to the chief minister, claiming that leaders of Thackeray-led Shiv Sena were harassing officials and contractors with "unlawful demands" and had stopped some national highway projects in the state, especially in Washim, had gone viral a few days ago.
