Shinde-led government for "not doing anything" to stop acci🐻dents on the Samruddhi Expressway where it occurred. In a statement, Thackeray said the Buldhana accident should open the government's eyes as more than 300 people have lost their lives on the expressway 🔜since it was opened last year.
A total of 25 passengers were charred to death after the bus they were travelling in caught fire on the Samruddhi Expressway at Pimpalkhuta village near Sindkhedraja in Buldhana around 1.30 am on Saturday. There were 33 persons on boar𓄧d the vehicle, of whom eight survived, police said.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi h🔜ad inaugurated the 520-km-long Phase-1 of the Nagpur-Mumbai Samruddhi Mahamarg in December last year. Officially named 🌄as 'Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg', it is a pet project of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.
Describing the Buldhana a൩ccident as unfortunate and shocking, Thackeray said in a statement tha🦩t in the last one year, the Samruddhi Expressway has seen more than 300 deaths in accidents.
"But the government has not done ܫanything to stop the🐷 accidents. Hope the Buldhana accident will open the eyes of the government," the former chief minister said.
