Pimpri Chinchwad | Development works must be accelerated and carried out in coordination. Care should be taken to ensure that citizens are not inconvenienced. No disruption in basic services such as roads, electricity, water, and healthcare will be tolerated. This strong directive was issued by Maval Lok Sabha MP Shrirang Barne to officials.

A review meeting of various government projects in the Karjat-Khalapur Assembly constituency was held on Friday (June 6), chaired by MP Shrirang Barne and attended by local MLA Mahendra Thorve. Among the key officials present were Sub-Divisional Officer Prakash Sakpal, Tehsildar Dr. Dhananjay Jadhav, Matheran Superintendent Surendra Thakur, Chief Officer Tanaji Chavan, Forest Range Officer Sameer Khedekar, Assistant Registrar Sharayu Samant, Shiv Sena District Chief Santosh Bhoir, District Organizer Sambhaji Jagtap, BJP Assembly Coordinator Dilip Behre, District Liaison Chief Vijay Patil, Assembly Liaison Chief Pankaj Patil, Taluka Chief Sudam Pawali, Taluka Organizer Sunil Rasal, Taluka Liaison Chief Dilip Tamhane, Suresh Tokre, former corporator Adv. Sanket Bhase, Deepak Behre, Prasad Thorve, and officers from all government departments.

A detailed review was conducted of work from 32 departments including Public Works, MSRDA, MMRDA, Revenue, Agriculture, Health, Women & Child Development, Education, Forest, Water Supply & Sanitation, Food & Civil Supplies, Rural Development, Police, Construction, Revenue Records, Water Resources, Social Justice, Municipal Councils, Registration Office, Tourism, MSEDCL, Anganwadi, Employment Guarantee Scheme, Zilla Parishad, Panchayat Samiti, Municipalities, and local administrative bodies.

MP Shrirang Barne stated, “A detailed discussion was held on the quality of development works, pending projects, obstacles, available funds, and public complaints. Government agencies must work swiftly and in coordination on development projects. There should be no hindrance to basic services like roads, electricity, water, and healthcare. Especially with the monsoon approaching, potholes must be immediately filled, and proper maintenance of electric poles and power supply should be ensured. Departments concerned with agriculture damage should take immediate action.”

MLA Mahendra Thorve added, “Only through coordination between the government and administration can development be expedited. Work must be carried out through teamwork. We are committed to solving local issues by understanding them thoroughly. Efforts are ongoing to declare Karjat Taluka as a tourism zone. All departments should maintain mutual coordination for this. Funding will be made available for Anganwadis. Departments facing manpower shortages should submit written requests, and follow-up will be done at the government level.”

As per Forest Minister Ganesh Naik’s suggestion, instructions have been issued to the Forest Department to develop a forest park on the site of the dumping ground at Ladivali. Considering the tourist season during monsoon, MLA Thorve proposed that tourism should remain open with proper safety measures, rather than imposing restrictions.

During the meeting, various departments presented their concerns. The Land Records Department pointed out a shortage of manpower for land surveys. Bharti Satalkar from the Anganwadi Department reported that under the ‘Lek Ladki’ scheme, the first installment had been distributed to 471 out of 499 girls. However, 45 Anganwadis still lack proper facilities or land.

Group Education Officer Anant Khaire informed that 355 schools in the Taluka will reopen from June 16. Tehsildar Dr. Dhananjay Jadhav said that grain stocks for three months are stored in three warehouses for the public distribution system. The Forest Department highlighted a potential landslide threat in Palsdari, prompting immediate pre-monsoon action orders.
