Mumbai news live updates, November 1, 2022: Starting today (November 1), the Mumbai Traffic Police will start fining motorists Rs 200 if passengers, including those in the rear seats, are not wearing seat belts.

Meanwhile, Mumbai Traffic Police fined a total of 23,547 auto-rickshaws and taxis in October for refusing to ferry passengers wanting to travel short distances. The figure in October is more than the total figure from January to June this year. Of the 23,547 cases, 15,395 auto-rickshaws were fined Rs 50 each and 8,152 taxis were fined Rs 200 each.
Amid a row over the Tata-Airbus project going to Gujarat, Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis said company officials had last year rued the “unfavourable” investment climate in the state. He claimed the decision to shift the project was taken when Uddhav Thackeray was the chief minister. “I had invited the chiefs of the Tata Airbus Defence projects on April 24, 2021, at my residence ‘Sagar’, despite being a leader of opposition in the state. I spoke to them and told them as a senior leader, I will speak with the then chief minister Uddhav Thackeray to keep the project in Maharashtra. However, they told me ‘yahan ka mahol investment jaise nahi hai, Devendraji’ (the atmosphere in the state is not worth an investment),” he told reporters.
