Eknath Shinde Hands Over Keys to Jai Bhavani Society Members in Thane's Sainath Nagar
On June 29, 2026, Deputy Chief Minister and Housing Minister Eknath Shinde attended a key handover ceremony for members of the Jai Bhavani Cooperative Housing Society in Sainath Nagar, located under Thane's Majiwada Circle. During the event, Shinde announced that the Maharashtra government is actively accelerating long-pending housing and redevelopment projects. The initiative is designed to ensure the timely delivery of homes to residents and to advance the government's broader vision of making both Thane and Mumbai entirely slum-free.
Speaking to the gathered members of the Jai Bhavani Cooperative Housing Society at the Sainath Nagar ceremony, Shinde emphasized that providing every family with a safe and quality home remains one of the primary goals for the state government. The key handover ceremony marked a significant milestone for the local residents of the Thane neighborhood who have been waiting for their housing issues to be resolved.
According to Shinde, the state government has prioritized resolving the various issues that have historically delayed redevelopment and housing projects across Maharashtra. This focus on clearing bottlenecks and fast-tracking stalled projects became a key objective for the administration after he assumed charge as the state's Housing Minister.
The announcement highlights a concerted effort by the Maharashtra government to address the challenges faced by stalled housing projects in the region. By focusing on these delayed developments, the administration aims to resolve long-standing redevelopment issues that have left many families waiting for their homes.
The government's ultimate goal through these accelerated redevelopment efforts is to eliminate slums in both Thane and Mumbai. By ensuring that projects like the Jai Bhavani Cooperative Housing Society are completed and handed over, the state hopes to establish a secure housing infrastructure for local residents in these urban areas.
