NCP loses another leader, former legislator rejoins Shiv Sena

Meanwhile, Mumbai-based Shiv Sena MLA Tukaram Kate staged a sit-in protest against the ongoing Metro construction work in the city. Contending that the construction work of a Metro rail carshed for the DN Nagar-Mankhurd Metro rail link at Mankhurd had resulted in severe deterioration of roads in the region, Kate, who represents the Anushakti Nagar assembly seat, sat in mud near the carshed construction site along with his supporters.

Taking a swipe at the Chief Minister-led Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, Kate claimed that authorities had overlooked complaints raised by residents in this regard. ens
