- Former mayor and corporators recently pushed for a beautification project in the area, which led to a presentation before Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on August 25.
- The Municipal Commissioner and Administrator, Shekhar Singh, approved a hefty ₹19.63 crore expenditure for the beautification project, signaling a significant investment in the area’s aesthetic appeal.
- However, concerns have been raised about the connectivity of the bridge that is part of the beautification plan. The narrow roads leading to the bridge, including Mamtanagar, Dutt Ashram Math, Priyadarshini nagar, Pavana nagar, and Mula nagar in Sangvi, could potentially lead to traffic congestion issues.
- Some locals are questioning the decision to prioritize beautification over essential infrastructure development. One resident expressed discontent, stating, "Spending crores on beautification when basic infrastructure like road widening is neglected is unjustified."
- Despite the backlash, the Municipal Corporation is standing by the beautification plan, citing instructions from Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar as justification for the project.
- The fate of the beautification project remains uncertain as residents eagerly await its completion and hope for a resolution to the traffic concerns that have been raised.
