The BJP-Shiv Sena government is paying equal attention to grievances of all regions of the state and balanced development would be accomplished in next five years, said Gadkari. 

Addressing a press conference at BJP office in Vidhan Bhavan premises,  Nitin Gadkari said that Nagpur Municipal Corporation will generate ethanol at Bhandewadi sewage treatment plant, and it will be used as fuel for operations of the Green Buses.

Replying to a query of pending railway project awaiting approval and funds from Union Railway Ministry, Nitin Gadkari said that he would meet Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu for immediate approval. The upcoming Railway Budget will have more share for Maharashtra as Maharashtra is home state for the Railway minister too, Gadkari pointed out .

On the issue of cancellation of Local Body Tax (LBT), the Union Minister said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis would decide about LBT. BJP-Shiv Sena government would take all efforts to solve common man’s problems. 

The government would ensure passengers and goods transportation through the waterways at Mumbai and Konkan region. The region has high capacity for waterways and Centre is keen to focus on transportation through waterways. There is only 0.3% transportation across the country through waterways however, neighboring China is reportedly doing 44% passengers and goods transportation through waterways. India has ample capacity by connecting rivers and sea hence, the Government is acting in this directions, Gadkari informed.

The world’s most powerful man was made to wait for 11 minutes in his car while an Indian cop took on American officials for their unwarranted interference in the US President’s security. KM Mallikarjuna Prasanna, Special Inspector General of Police of Nagpur Range, still continues to work with the same pride, wearing his patriotism on the sleeve. “Had they (Americans) deployed their personnel for area security, then the message would have been Indians are unable to protect VIPs in their nation,” recounted Prasanna on the episode that is one of the highlights of his distinguished career of a skillful investigator. The story of the IPS officer of 2000 batch is worth a film. In fact, a movie (Nagarjun-starrer ‘Officer’) has already been made by Ram Gopal Verma last year. His real life script also ha

It is situated at the confluence of five rivers -- Wainganga, Kanhan, Aam, Kolari and Murza.
