The cost of the project Rs 16 crore two decades ago. A total of 10 acres of land belonging to the Education Department was transferred to the Rural Development Department for the proposal which has a plan of 116 shops from Nirala Bazaar to the ZP office with the administrative building. The contract of the designing blueprint of shops was given to Pune’s prominent architecture agency. With the change in guard in ZP, the matter of changing the architecture agency reached the court. The agency collected Rs 50 lakh from ZP.The then ZP president Harishchandra Laghane told this newspaper that the proposal of the building is on the backburner since 2000.
