Delays in Gaimukh Ghat Repairs Due to Jurisdiction Issues

May 9, 2025

The repair work on Gaimukh Ghat in Thane, particularly on the Ghodbunder Highway, is encountering delays in its second phase due to jurisdictional concerns. The state public works department completed the initial phase of repairs but now faces challenges as the section falls under the jurisdiction of the Mira Bhayander Municipal Corporation (MBMC). The handover of responsibilities and coordination between the two entities are causing the setback in the repair process. Officials are apprehensive about the impact these delays may have on the overall timeline for completing the repair work on the highway. The state department will now initiate discussions with the MBMC to facilitate the necessary actions for addressing the repair needs on the concerned stretch of the highway. The transition of authority and the subsequent communication between the agencies are crucial to ensuring the seamless continuation of repair activities and resolving the jurisdictional hurdles that have emerged.
