MLA wants Chandgad's inclusion in Shaktipeeth project

Kolhapur: Amidst rising opposition from Kolhapur farmers against the Shaktipeeth highway project, Chandgad MLA Shivaji Patil has advocated for the inclusion of Chandgad tehsil in the initiative. Patil met with Anil Kumar Gaikwad, the vice-chairman and managing director of the Road Development Corporation, in Mumbai and presented four route options. These options propose that the Shaktipeeth highway be directed through Chandgad towards Patra Devi in Sindhudurg. Patil said routing the highway through Chandgad, Ajara, and Gadhinglaj tehsils would enhance tourism and create employment opportunities. "The Shaktipeeth route passing through 12 districts of the state will connect important temples. It will benefit the development of that region. The Chandgad region also has many ancient temples, forts, and natural places. If the Chandgad, Gadhinglaj, and Ajra regions become part of this route, it will boost tourism and increase employment and industry. " The four suggested routes are: 1) Sankeshwar-Hitni-Samangad-Masevadi-Waghrali-Sambre-Mugli-Naganwadi-Asgaon-Koraj-Kokare-Jambre-Isapur-Pargad-Goa 2) Sankeshwar-Hitni-Samangad-Masevadi-Waghrali-Sambre-Mugli-Vargaon-Gudewadi-Hallarwadi-Nandavade-Motanwadi Phata onwards to Goa 3) Pune-Bengaluru National Highway Rajgoli Khurd-Kitwad-Hosur-Bukkihal-Mahipalgad-Devarwadi-Shinoli-Dhekoli-Tudaye-Mhalunge-Kolik-Kankumbi-Goa 4) Gargoti-Pimpalgaon-Madilge-Ajra-Chitale-Ibrahimpur-Naganwadi-Asgaon-Kokare-Jambre-Isapur to Goa.
