"Water taxi facility should be provided to this airport. This will be the first international airport in the country to have such a facility. Good parking facilities should be available along with aircraft repair facilities. Road, rail, metro and water transport connectivity works to the airport should be completed on time," Fadnavis said.

"A multi-modal transport system should be created from the metro station to the airport. Care should be taken to ensure citizens do not face any inconvenience in this regard. The work being carried out through CIDCO should be completed within the prescribed time limit," he added.

The CM also emphasised that those working in the field of housing and housing construction should be of high quality.

"A time limit should also be set in this regard. CIDCO should take the initiative and take action to provide houses to citizens at affordable prices," he said.
