As MD of MMRC, she was at the forefront of implementing the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Mumbai Metro 3 project. Promoted earlier this month as principal secretary, Bhide’s transfer was a matter of time as Aaditya Thackeray, state environment minister and son of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray, had publicly demanded her removal.

Her vociferous defence of felling of tress to pave way for the proposed Aarey metro car shed project had ruffled more than a few feathers.

Bhide would often tweet pictures of the ongoing metro project, an exercise that won her many admirers and a few detractors.
