Overview
- The Mumbai Police fleet addition totals 633 four-wheelers and 657 motorcycles, formally flagged off at Nariman Point.
- Joint Guardian Minister Mangal Prabhat Lodha, Minister of State for Home Yogesh Ramdas Kadam, and Police Commissioner Deven Bharti attended the ceremony.
- Police officials highlighted mobile data terminals, vehicle tracking systems, and GPS in the new vehicles, with current average response time of about 5.30 minutes expected to decline.
- Fadnavis also virtually opened a 333‑metre flyover linking Tardeo, Nagpada, and Mumbai Central that includes a 7‑metre carriageway and pedestrian footpaths.
- The flyover replaces a 130‑year‑old bridge dismantled nearly two years ago and is expected to ease traffic on Bellasis Road, Grant Road, Pathe Bapurao Marg, and the Mahalaxmi station bridge; the BMC says construction finished in 15 months and six days.
