He is the Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra.
He told 14 government departments to work together to help.
A special officer named Jitendra Dudi will lead the work.
They will fill potholes and use new technology to fix roads quickly.
They will also build new roads and flyovers to reduce traffic.
The government will also build new police stations, fire stations, and hospitals.
This will help the factories and the people who live there.
Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde directed 14 government departments to work under a committee headed by the Pune district collector to address infrastructure issues in the Chakan-Talegaon industrial belt.
Shinde prioritized filling potholes and using modern road repair technologies such as pre-cast roads and geo-polymer techno patches, particularly during the monsoon.
The long-pending Chakan city development plan will be approved soon, and MIDC will provide land for solid waste management projects, police stations, fire stations, hospitals and electricity substations.
