Well folks, it looks like the Pune-Nashik Expressway project has hit a major roadblock! Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar has revealed some juicy details about the controversial highway during a recent cabinet meeting in Mumbai.
The proposed expressway, which is set to cut through Khed, Shirur, Ambegaon, and Junnar talukas, has been facing fierce opposition from local farmers. Minister of Cooperation Dilip Walse Patil has called for a meeting with Pawar to address these concerns.
In a surprising turn of events, Pawar announced that the survey for the Pune-Nashik expressway will be put on hold. He assured that the acquisition of farming lands for the project will be reconsidered, and a new route will be selected after discussions with Chief Minister Eknath Shinde.
Seems like the government is taking the farmers’ concerns seriously this time. Pawar and Walse Patil are gearing up to meet with CM Shinde to discuss the opposition from the local community and find a more suitable alternative for the expressway. Looks like the original proposal is getting tossed out the window!
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as the drama unfolds. Who knew infrastructure projects could be so controversial?
