Deputy Chief Minister (CM) Eknath Shinde on Thursday directed officials to expedite the implementation of the long-pending Thane cluster redevelopment scheme to provide relief to residents living in dangerous and dilapidated buildings.

Chairing a review meeting through video-conferencing, Shinde directed the administration to transfer the cluster redevelopment projects in Kopri, Kisan Nagar, and Wagle Estate from Mahatma Phule Renewable Energy and Infrastructure Technology Limited (MahaPreet) to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) to ensure faster execution.
