On Thursday, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde stated that the government would make a favourable decision to reconstruct the Mumbadevi Temple after establishing the Mumbaidevi Development Authority, following the pattern of the Sri Kanshi Viswanath temple.
After visiting Mumbadevi in Kalbadevi, Shinde spoke about the area and his plans for its redevelopment.
Shinde mentioned that Mumbadevi is a historic temple that holds significant importance and is revered by many devotees. The temple area witnesses a large number of visitors.

The Chief Minister stated that the government will make every effort to develop the necessary facilities in the Mumbadevi temple area, including viewing queues, parking lots, and other essential amenities, considering the requirements of the region.
