Citizens currently have to travel to Pune for such work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Gorkhe said establishing a separate office would reduce more than 50 percent of the administrative burden on the Pune District Collectorate and speed up governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also urged the government to consider setting up a separate revenue authority with powers related to land revenue, mining and rehabilitation for Pimpri-Chinchwad and take an early decision in the interest of the city\u2019s development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune : Amit Gorkhe, Member of the Legislative Council, has demanded that the Maharashtra government approve a separate Additional Collector<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1432,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[53,46,32],"tags":[56,64],"class_list":["post-1430","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-city","category-nigadi","category-pune","tag-pcmc","tag-pune"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-300x164.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-392x272.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-390x205.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-130x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-150x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"Pune : Amit Gorkhe, Member of the Legislative Council, has demanded that the Maharashtra government approve a separate Additional Collector","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["City","Nigadi","Pune"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":77,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":1,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1.jpg",752,411,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-300x164.jpg",300,164,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/amit-gorkhe-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-53\">City<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-46\">Nigadi<\/a> <a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-32\">Pune<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
