Speaking on the development in North Mumbai, Goyal mentioned that the region has been witnessing significant infrastructure advancements in recent times.
He noted that the construction of a 1,000-bed hospital near the Magathane metro station is progressing swiftly, and another 1,000-bed hospital is planned for construction in West Kandivali, which will enhance healthcare access and services in the region.
The minister applauded Fadnavis for leading major infrastructural projects, including the extension of the Coastal Road (Worli-Bandra) to Versova and the proposed coastal road connecting the new airport via the Atal Sethu.
