UID for all infra projects to curb double payments

To prevent double payments for the same project and streamline infrastructure development, the Maharashtra state cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has decided to assign unique identity numbers (UID) to all ongoing projects across the state.

The decision aims to bring better coordination and transparency to the development process.

Just as the Aadhaar card serves as a unique ID for individuals, each infrastructure project in the state will now be assigned a unique number.

Fadnavis explained that several departments often work on the same projects, resulting in duplication and significant financial losses.
