He urged the municipal corporation to promptly initiate the water connection process in areas where water supply works under the scheme are completed.
Additionally, considering future population growth, he recommended laying an additional pipeline beside the railway crossing. Pawar urged the PMC to expedite the remaining works of the scheme to resolve the water issue in the region.
Regarding the construction of the flyover at the railway gate, Pawar instructed the Public Works Department to submit a proposal to the District Collector for acquiring the necessary 50 meters of land on both sides.
