On Wednesday, Shinde went to Thane Collector office to attend a meeting on ways to tackle any monsoon related disaster. When the CM was heading out after the meeting, huge crowd assembled outside the hall.

While managing the heavy presence of people, the constable apparently felt uneasy and got unconscious. The Chief Minister who was passing through the crowd, stopped and made sure that all help was available to the person in uniform and stayed there until she regained her composure. The Chief Minister offered a bottle of water to the woman constable and directed staff to get her admitted in nearby hospital.

In the meeting, Shinde took stock of the preparation of Civic bodies in dealing with potholes in the city and also its preparedness in tackling the Monsoon menace that creates water deluge on roads.
