Pimpri Chinchwad to Build Fire Station After Decade Delay
Imagine a town where many factories make things.
These factories sometimes have fires.
For a long time, the town didn't have a special fire station just for these factories.
Finally, the town is building one!
It's been a long wait, over ten years since people asked for it.
The new fire station will have special equipment to fight industrial fires and will cost a lot of money.
People hope it gets built quickly because it will help keep everyone safe.
The town is also hiring more firefighters because they don't have enough right now.
Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to build a fire station in Bhosari MIDC.
The project was demanded by local industries over a decade ago.
The fire station tender was floated on May 19, with a project cost of around Rs 22 crore.
New station will be on a 4,000 square meter plot allocated by MIDC.
Existing fire stations currently serve the industrial area, with new equipment planned.
