In the Chikhali area, getting land for development was very hard before, with only 3% success. But now, the PCMC has done a great job in Kudalwadi by securing 80,618 square meters of land for new roads during a two-day camp on April 8 and 9, 2025. This is a big step forward, as it represents over 50% of the land needed for building new roads and improving the area. This progress comes after removing more than 4,000 illegal buildings that had been there for over 40 years.
The town planning and civil department worked really well together at the special camp. Their hard work made it easier to get the land needed, which is much better than what happened in nearby areas before. With this land, they can now start to build new roads and improve the infrastructure in Kudalwadi. This won’t only help with road construction but also help the whole community grow and develop.
The PCMC’s plan includes building 14 new roads and adding important facilities like two primary schools, an overhead water tank, and a town hall. These changes will help fix old problems with infrastructure and make Kudalwadi a better place to live. The locations of these facilities are chosen carefully to ensure they’re easy to reach for everyone in the community.
The PCMC is still working on getting more land, showing they’re serious about finishing the development plan. The way they’re acquiring land and removing illegal structures sets a good example for future projects in the region. Changing areas that were once crowded into organized development zones is a big change for the community.
This successful land acquisition program shows that when government teams work hard together, they can achieve important urban development goals. What’s happening in Kudalwadi can inspire similar projects in other places, proving that smart planning and teamwork are essential for building better cities.
The ongoing work to gather necessary documents for more land shows that the PCMC is keeping up its efforts to complete the entire development plan. Their actions are laying the groundwork for a brighter future in Kudalwadi where the community can thrive.
