Mr Shinde’s comments on Tuesday came soon after Congress’ Maharashtra President, Nana Patole, demanded the resignation of the chief minister and his deputies, claiming that there is a nexus between the police, politicians and the rich and influential people in the state.
Answering a question on the alleged preferential treatment given to the 17-year-old son of a prominent Pune builder, Mr Shinde said in Hindi, “I have been in touch with the Pune police commissioner since day one.

No matter how rich or poor a person is, the law is equal for all and no one will be spared. I have ordered stric..

The fire in a Delhi children’s hospital last week – in which seven infants were killed – has prompted a swipe from Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena, who declared himself “disappointed” that Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and Delhi Health Minister Saurabh Bhardwaj had “paid only lip service and given sound bites (to the press)… and shirked responsibility” since the gut-wrenching incident.
Mr Saxena said he had been compelled “in public interest” to order an anti-corruption probe into possible lapses in registration and regulatory management of private nursing homes in the city.
“… ACB has been directed to undertake a comprehensive inquiry into the registration of nursing homes in the city, to assess how many nursing homes are functioning without valid registrations and if those that have a valid registration comply with prescribed norms…” Mr Saxena said.
Alleging “absence of ministerial oversight… criminal neglect, and connivance of government officials in granting or renewing lice..

India’s first undersea tunnel — the coastal road tunnel in Mumbai — is showing evidence of seepage. The tunnel has been in use only for less than three months. The twin tunnels, which have a diameter of 12.19 metres, run 17-20 m below sea level.
On March 11, one side of the coastal road was opened to traffic and more than 7 lakh vehicles have travelled through the route so far.
The Coastal Road — part of the city’s masterplan developed in 1967 — was inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and his Deputies — Devendra Fadnavis and Ajit Pawar
The 2.07 km tunnel start near Girgaon (ahead of Marine Drive), extend north under the Arabian Sea, Girgaon Chowpatty and Malabar Hill, and end at Breach Candy’s Priyadarshini Park.
The coastal road cuts down the 45-minute commute from Girgaon to Worli to just 10 minutes. The tunnels, which comprise only a 2-km stretch, resemble the Queen’s necklace, the C-shaped Marine Drive promenade.
