THANE: The state government will construct temporary truck termini at six spots along the fringes of Thane, Raigad and Palghar to regulate the movement of heavy vehicles in the Lake City, urban development minister Eknath Shinde, said on Thursday.
Shinde made the announcement following a survey and finalising stretches of vacant government land in Uran, JNPT, Kharegaon, Sonale, Dapodi and Dapcheri in Palghar on Thursday.
Shinde said he has told the local administration to build temporary termini and parking bays at the designated spots. Heavy traffic will be regulated and allowed to move in batches and cross Thane city between 11pm and 6am, he said. The idea is to avoid heavy vehicles plying between JNPT and Gujarat and passing via Thane from causing jams.
