Construction of a modern bus stand with a multilevel parking facility, Patkar said, would help in easing the problems of parking and traffic congestion in the town.
As regards the rehabilitation of traders, Patkar said “We will ensure that the traders are properly rehabilitated,” he said.
Referring to complaints over excessive water bills, Patkar said the issues pertaining to “wrong billing” would be rectified once the Congress government if formed.
“My enquiries revealed that PWD engineers were given oral instructions by the government not to issue water bills before elections, as they feared that people’s uproar over huge bills would affect them during the polls,” Patkar said.
