Pune: In a significant move towards infrastructure development, a budget of ₹1,428 crore has been approved for the Shirur-Haveli constituency following discussions in the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) general meeting. MLA Mauli Katke, who raised key regional concerns during the session, confirmed the development.
Speaking about the approval, MLA Katke said, “We had submitted proposals through Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar to improve state and district roads, along with other major roads in the constituency.
The PMRDA meeting, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, discussed these proposals in detail. The main priorities include decongesting the Pune-Ahilyanagar Highway and addressing the traffic issues on the Pune-Solapur Highway, particularly from Uruli Kanchan to Hadapsar, by removing encroachments and cracking down on illegal constructions.”
