Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari praised the development, stating that he will monitor every aspect of the airport’s work like a supervisor.

With the inauguration of these medical colleges, Maharashtra takes a significant step towards a healthier future, with improved medical facilities and increased opportunities for medical professionals.
