Conceived way back in 1995, the project has run into rough weather several times over the last 15 years. However, once completed, it would be an engineering marvel.The latest development happened during Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’ visit to China.
Talking to reporters here, Fadnavis said the offer has come from the China Communications Construction Company, a state-owned entity. “As part of province-to-province ties Maharashtra and Shandong region are looking at various things and this is one of them,” he said.
