He also informed that around 14 kms of internal roads in Pilerne village have been dug during laying of underground cable and they would be hotmixed after the monsoon at a cost of Rs 90 lakh.
He was speaking at Pilerne after laying the foundation stone for the community hall of Shantadurga Devasthan Pillernikarin in the presence of Pilerne-Marra Sarpanch Sandeep Bandodkar, Panch members Amarnath (Ajay) Govekar, Karan Govekar and Santosh Bandodkar, Reis Magos ZP member Rupesh Naik and President of the Shantadurga Devasthan Adv Prakash Malik.
“The community hall being constructed by RDA is the first such community hall in the village and it will not only provide revenue for the temple but also a place for the village to conduct marriage functions and cultural programmes.”

“Whenever any proposal is received from locals about any new project, the panchayat immediately considers it and if suitable, passes a resolution in the panchayat body meeting and forwards it to the department concerned for approval.”
“The panchayat has submitted a proposal to the government for a new Panchayat Ghar and discussion regarding the proposal is in progress with the chief minister,” he said.
