Deputy chief minister Shinde approved the project cost of Rs 357.16 crore for the technical change submitted by Maharashtra Jeevan Authority.
This scheme will benefit 27 villages situated in Kalyan-Dombivli city. Due to this, along with smooth water supply, 105 MLD storage capacity will also be created.
