  "account": "On Thursday, the Panvel Municipal Corporation (PMC) held a general body meeting chaired by Mayor Nitin Patil. Senior civic officials, including Deputy Mayor Pramila Patil and Additional Municipal Commissioner Ganesh Shete, were present. The meeting approved several development and infrastructure projects.\n\nAmong the key proposals was the construction of a multi-level mechanised parking facility on land bearing CTS No. 184/1A Part. The proposal, along with the estimated expenditure, was approved unanimously. Additionally, the PMC approved the replacement of the dysfunctional gas crematorium at Amar Dham crematorium with a new two-unit gas cremation system.\n\nThe civic body also granted administrative and financial approval for road repair works across all four ward committees for the next two years. These works will cover various wards in Kharghar, Kalamboli, Kamothe, and Panvel. Furthermore, the general body approved the construction of a fish market on PMC-owned land and a community hall in Sector 13, Kharghar, though suggestions were made for both projects. However, the proposal for constructing a shelter for small and large animals at Taloje was rejected.\n\nThe PMC also approved the construction of Marathi- and English-medium schools on PMC-owned final plot No. 122, as well as the cancellation of property tax imposed on telecommunication networks and mobile towers. Other approved proposals included developing parks in New Panvel and Kalamboli, providing free training under the Social Development Department, and constructing a Divyang Bhavan for persons with disabilities. The passenger lift at the Adya Krantiveer Vasudev Balwant Phadke auditorium was also to be replaced, and decorative streetlight poles were to be installed along a specific road in New Panvel.",
