Pune: In a recent visit to Chakan city and the MIDC area, Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar conducted an inspection to address the ongoing traffic congestion. During this visit, he hinted at the formation of a new municipal corporation for Chakan and its surrounding regions to address local administrative and infrastructural issues.

At around 5:30 AM, Ajit Pawar, along with the District Collector and Police Commissioner, arrived in Chakan to assess the traffic situation. He engaged with local citizens directly, discussing possible solutions. Pawar assured the residents that efforts would be made to resolve the issues they have long faced due to the traffic congestion.

He further shared that the Pune-Nashik Expressway would be upgraded, and the road from Talegaon to Shikrapur would be widened to six lanes. Necessary funding for these improvements would be secured, Pawar confirmed. He also made it clear that, whether people liked it or not, establishing a municipal corporation for Chakan and the surrounding area was the only viable option to manage the region's development and governance moving forward.

This move is expected to bring more efficient administration and resolve some of the long-standing traffic and infrastructure challenges faced by the rapidly growing area.
