Mumbai | Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said the roads in Mumbai will be pothole-free in the next two years as the concretisation work is currently underway.

He also urged the Mumbai residents to cooperate with the administration in keeping the metropolis clean and beautiful.

Speaking at an event held here in memory of former Mumbai sheriff and noted jurist late Nana Chudasama, Shinde said a deep cleaning drive has been undertaken some time back and it has reduced pollution.

"Concretisation of roads in the entire city is being done. In the next two years, Mumbai will be pothole-free. The civic administration is working with the government and police to ease the traffic congestion," he said, adding that cleanliness drives are being implemented at all beaches in the city.

Traffic congestion in south Mumbai has reduced after the coastal road was partially opened. People are saving on time, money and fuel, he added.

When private individuals and organisations come together with the feeling that the city belongs to people and that they should contribute towards its development, then the speed of development and beautification will increase, Shinde said.
