The inaugural ceremony of the Marine Drive Under-Flyover Beautification project stopped the promenade’s walkers and joggers mid-stride early Friday morning. A portion underneath the Marine Drive flyover, opposite the Gymkhanas, had been beautified with a strip of grass, some flower beds in the midst of which spouted fountains, leading up to the artwork and installations, which were the showpiece of the initiative. Chief minister Eknath Shinde, chief guest and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis, inaugurated the beautification project. The initiative is by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) spokesperson Shaina NC carrying on the legacy, in memory of her late father former Mumbai sheriff Nana Chudasama.
