Dear reader,
You heard the big news, right? Mumbai just got a mega upgrade with the launch of the Atal Setu - the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL).
A bridge so long you could finish an entire podcast (or more, if it is Swarajya podcasts) episode while crossing it – that's the MTHL experience!
It's India's longest sea bridge, connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. And guess what? It's been in the making since... wait for it... 1963! Talk about a long time coming, right?
Now, we know what you're thinking. "Just another bridge, so what?" But hold on, there's more to this story. The MTHL isn't just about slashing travel time to a breezy 20 minutes (although that's pretty cool).
The journey of this project reads like a suspenseful thriller. Full of delays and obstacles, it seemed stuck. Then enters Devendra Fadnavis, who turns the whole situation around. The way he did it is a story you have to read to believe!
These stories will transport you right to the heart of the action:
Till tomorrow,
Raghu
