Maharashtra: Palghar ZP submits Rs 354 crore proposal to connect 164 villages with roads

The Palghar Zilla Parishad has submitted a proposal of Rs 354.79 crore for road connectivity in the district, an official said on Friday.

The plan was drawn up after a pregnant woman died while en route to the health center in Mokhada recently, ZP public relations official Shraddha Gharat said.

A ZP release said a survey has been undertaken in 164 hamlets for the connectivity proposal.

"There is a need to construct 140 roads so that all these villages can be connected. Work in one of the 164 villages has been completed," the official said.
