  • Mumbai's most prominent landmarks will see their names modified.

    CST which stands for 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminal' and Mumbai international airport known as Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport will now have 'Maharaj' added to both their names.

    The revised names will be 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport' and 'Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminal'.

    The state cabinet's reasoning is that Shivaji, the Maratha warrior king, deserves more respect.

  • BMC's commitment to make Mumbai 'flood-free' has been stalled as there are 22,000 illegal structures blocking storm drains.

    Civic chief, Ajoy Mehta, has now instructed officials to demolish all such structures swiftly that impede BMC's work.

    The Brihanmumbai Storm Water Drains project (Brimstowad) that envisages a flood-free Mumbai was launched 11 years ago; it's yet to be completed as BMC failed to clear encroachments.
