Maharashtra Revenue Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule Meets Defence Minister Rajnath Singh Over Kamptee Cantonment Issues Nagpur: Maharashtra revenue minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule met defence minister Rajnath Singh in New Delhi on Monday to seek urgent Central government intervention for resolving long-standing civic challenges affecting residents of Kamptee Cantonment. The meeting, held at the Ministry of Defence, focused on addressing systemic deficiencies in infrastructure, public services, and administrative governance within the cantonment area. Bawankule highlighted persistent issues such as inadequate water supply, deteriorating road networks, insufficient sanitation facilities, and limited access to healthcare, which have significantly impacted the quality of life for residents. During the discussion, Bawankule emphasized the need for immediate action to rectify these shortcomings, which have remained unresolved despite repeated appeals. He proposed a strategic move to merge the Kamptee Cantonment area with the Yerakheda civic body, a decision aimed at streamlining administrative processes and enhancing service delivery. Officials involved in the meeting noted that this integration could simplify governance structures, reduce bureaucratic delays, and accelerate development projects. The proposal was described as a potential solution to the complex challenges faced by the cantonment, which operates under a unique administrative framework due to its strategic military significance. The meeting also underscored the Centre’s willingness to engage with the proposal. Rajnath Singh assured Bawankule that the issues raised would be examined at the appropriate level, signaling the government’s openness to exploring administrative restructuring within the cantonment.#maharashtra #defence_minister_rajnath_singh #kamptee_cantonment #yerakheda_civic_body
