The civic administration has proposed renting the quarry from owner Somnath Tambe for 25 days. The standing committee on Wednesday approved the proposal after Tambe reduced his initial quote from ₹15 lakh to ₹12.5 lakh following discussions with the civic body.
Standing committee chairman Shrinath Bhimale said, “After discussions with the quarry owner, the initial quote of ₹15 lakh was reduced to ₹12.5 lakh. The revised rate was considered before approving the proposal”.
