Deputy Chief Minister and Housing Minister Eknath Shinde said the Maharashtra government is accelerating long-pending housing and redevelopment projects with the aim of ensuring timely delivery of homes and advancing its vision of making Thane and Mumbai slum-free.

Speaking at the key handover ceremony for members of the Jai Bhavani Cooperative Housing Society in Sainath Nagar under Thane's Majiwada Circle, Shinde said providing every family with a safe and quality home remains one of the government's priorities.
