Sunetra Pawar inaugurates Rs 5.8 crore works at Chakan's Chakreshwar temple complex

Deputy Chief Minister and Pune district Guardian Minister Sunetra Pawar inaugurated a series of development works at the Shri Chakreshwar Devasthan complex in Chakan. The works were carried out with funds provided by the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. About Rs 5.80 crore had been made available for the development of the complex.

At the ceremony, Sunetra Pawar said Ajit Pawar was always ready to work for the public. She said she would continue to work on people's concerns by carrying forward his legacy of public service. She also said she was taking on the responsibility of inaugurating and dedicating to the public the various development works that Ajit Pawar had sanctioned so far.

Sunetra Pawar said she would keep trying to realise Ajitdada's dreams of development by completing the remaining works in the complex, including the road leading to the Chakreshwar temple in Chakan. She described as important the regular follow-up by former MLA Dilip Mohite for development works in Khed taluka. The Deputy Chief Minister also said the inauguration would speed up the development of the temple complex and that devotees would get better facilities than before.

Former MLA Dilip Mohite said the late Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar always had a special affection for Khed taluka, and had always given major help for the taluka's development. Mohite said a municipal corporation for Chakan was the need of the hour for its development. He said approval of the DPR had been stuck for seven to eight years.

Mohite said that if a municipal corporation is formed in Chakan, it would help resolve several basic problems, including traffic jams, garbage management, water supply and roads.

Those present included former MLA Dilip Mohite, Chakan Municipal Council president Manisha Gore, former Zilla Parishad member Sharad Butte, Zilla Parishad member Sunita Butte, Arun Chambhare, Zilla Parishad member Ganesh Botre, Baba Rakshe, Nationalist Congress Party taluka president Ankush Rakshe and Kailas Sandbhor. Chief Officer Dr Ankush Jadhav, all councillors including women councillors, officials, employees, and office-bearers and workers of the Nationalist Congress Party also attended.
