PIMPRI CHINCHWAD: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has submitted a detailed project report (DPR) of the Metro rail route to the state government.
Sharing this information with TOI on Monday, PCMC standing committee chairperson Seema Savale said many development works have been proposed in the civic budget, including Kalyan Kendra for the disabled, development plan for the fringe areas and tenements at Charholi, Ravet, and Borhadewadi under the Pradhan Mantri Awaas Yojana.
“Light motor vehicle training for women drivers and the 24×7 water supply under the Amrut scheme have also been proposed in the budget. A total of 300 MLD water is to be drawn from the Bhama Askhed and Andra dams,” Savale said while speaking at the special civic general body meeting on Monday.
