Mira-Bhayandar: Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, C.M Eknath Shinde unveiled an equestrian statue of the revered Maratha warrior king, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

In addition to this, the Chief Minister also inaugurated a series of development projects in the twin-city region. These include:

- An art gallery dedicated to the memory of Maharashtra's iconic leader and Shiv Sena founder, the late Balasaheb Thackeray, in the Indralok Area of Bhayandar (East).
- The Nirupankar Dr. Appasaheb Dharmadhikari community hall in Bhayandar (East).
- Musical fountains at Navghar Village and Jarimari Talao in Kashimira.

Furthermore, the Chief Minister laid the foundation stones for various other development projects virtually, in the presence of municipal commissioner Sanjay Katkar, MP Naresh Mhaske, and legislators Pratap Sarnaik, Geeta Jain, and Ravindra Phatak. 

"Strategically located between Mumbai and Thane, the twin-city is rapidly growing, and the government is committed to ensuring the pace of development continues with the same speed," said Shinde, while appreciating the efforts of the legislators and the civic administration for their committed efforts towards the all-round development of the twin-city.

Before inaugurating the projects, the Chief Minister sought the blessings of Shri Aniruddhacharya Ji Maharaj and other spiritual gurus, as well as the office bearers of the Ram Janmabhoomi Tirtha Kshetra Nyas (Ayodhya), at the three-day long Bhagwat Satsang organised by Sarnaik.
