Pune: Separate Plan Needed In Budget For Development Of Newly Merged Villages With PMC – MLA Sunil Tingre
Pune, 18th March 2023: Sunil Tingre, the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) MLA of Wadgaon Sheri, has raised concerns about the lack of development in 34 villages that have been included in the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).
He highlighted the lack of infrastructure facilities such as water, roads, drainage, electricity systems, and parks in these villages. Tingre demanded a separate plan in the budget for the development of these villages and requested the Maharashtra state government to waive 50% of the tax until the facilities are available.
In response to Tingre’s concerns, Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said that funds have already been allocated for water supply and sewage disposal schemes in villages. He further instructed the Municipal Commissioner to provide separate funds in the budget for other development works.
Minister Uday Samant also announced the formation of a committee comprising representatives from the 34 villages and municipal commissioners to decide on development works and allocate funds accordingly.
