Thane, Dec 13 (PTI) The Thane Municipal Corporation (TMC) will revise its traffic management plan for the city in collaboration with the ‘GISE Hub’ at IIT Bombay, civic chief Saurabh Rao has said.
The updated plan will focus on evaluating existing provisions, studying current traffic patterns, and planning for challenges up to 2030, he said on Thursday.
