We greatly appreciate the support and response we received from the different governmental and non governmental departments.

The presence of the Maharashtra Transport Minister Diwakar Raote, senior officials from the state / civic departments, City Mayors, Police Chiefs in charge of traffic and leaders from the infrastructure sector added great value.

The three day Conference too maintained high level in terms of content, speakers and delegates. The magazine will be bringing to its readers most of the discussions and presentations.
