According to the MSRDC officials, the actual land measurement and survey process will begin next week. The joint measurement survey has been undergoing in the Western side and the survey process in 12 villages of 160 hectares has been completed so far.

“The first step now is to present the proposal to the collector’s office after that collector’s office will issue a notice formalising the process. So, the actual process is expected to begin next week,” said Sandeep Patil sub-divisional engineer Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC).
