“With rapid urbanization, the demand for basic civic amenities has increased tremendously. The ₹12 crore sanctioned by the government will play a vital role in the overall progress of a developed and smart Chinchwad constituency. Especially in the fast-growing areas of Wakad, Punawale, Ravet, Mamurdi, and Kiwale, citizens will greatly benefit from these works. The new facilities being created for sportspersons, senior citizens, women, and youth represent a strong step toward building a healthy, strong, and developed Chinchwad. Our goal is to ensure that government funds are used effectively so that the benefits of development reach every citizen.”
