₹94 Crore Sanctioned for Ghughus Water Project Under AMRUT 2.0.

In a significant move to address Ghughus city’s long-standing water crisis, the Maharashtra Urban Development Department has approved ₹94 crore under the Centre’s AMRUT 2.0 scheme for a comprehensive water supply project. The initiative aims to provide clean and uninterrupted drinking water to the city’s residents.

Under the funding structure, the central and state governments will each contribute 45% of the project cost, while the Ghughus Municipal Council will bear the remaining 5%. The project is slated for completion within 18 months of the work order and will be executed under the supervision of municipal officials.

Following the sanction, MLA Kishor Jorgewar met Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis at Mantralaya, Mumbai, to express gratitude and discuss the project’s rollout. The meeting also reviewed other pending development works and strategies for Ghughus’s overall urban growth.

Calling the approval a “historic decision,” Jorgewar said the project will permanently resolve the city’s water scarcity and accelerate its development, with work expected to commence soon.
