Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has urged the Maharashtra Road Development Corporation (MRDC) officials to expedite work on the Versova-Virar and Bandra-Versova sea link projects in order to ease commute in Mumbai.

As per an official statement, the minister instructed on the expedition of work during a review meeting for the projects which are being executed by state-run MRDC.
