Maharashtra government on Tuesday approved Rs397.54 crore funds to set up the Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj memorial at Vadu and Tulapur in Pune district and Rs127 crore for development in Jejuri.

Shirur MP Amol Kolhe welcomed the decision and said, “MVA had made a budgetary provision of Rs250 crore for the project, but meanwhile government changed in Maharashtra.

The state government, meanwhile, has also approved funds for Jejuri which will help to beautify and develop the religious place in Pune district.
