PMC allocates Rs 500 cr for basic amenities in 34 merged villages

12 Mar 2022 CW Team

PMC commissioner Vikram Kumar said that the allocation has been made to guarantee that there is robust infrastructural development in these villages.

Besides additional funds will be made available for the growth of new regional ward offices comprising payment for their salaries and maintaining other installation prices, as per the officials.

Sanjeev Kumar Patil, director of Wagholi Housing Societies’ Association told the media that the budgetary allocation made for the development of merged villages is very less and they anticipate the PMC to infuse an amount equal to the annual taxes being paid to the government. Already obnoxious pollution is ruining Wagholi and basic infrastructure is missing. Civic infrastructure for Wagholi is a very heavy investment and large budgetary allocation must be made to render the basic facilities for the area.

Around Rs 150 crore has been allocated for the creation of a water supply master plan, Rs 100 crore for wastewater management for 11 villages, Rs 100 crore wastewater treatment plant project, Rs 13 crore for water supply infrastructure in 23 villages, and Rs 9.40 crore to 11 villages.

Moreover, PMC allocated Rs 7.20 crore for waste management projects, and Rs 4.75 crore for water lifting projects at Wagholi, Shivane, Kondhawe-Dhawade and Uttam Nagar. Around Rs four crore has been allocated for graveyards and crematoriums, Rs three crore for street electricity, Rs three crore for hospital in Wagholi, 1.12 crore for drainage repairs, and Rs one crore for crematorium at new Ahiregaon.

PMC further allocated Rs 10 lakh for small waterworks infrastructure in 10 villages.
