All Mayors have played a leading role in the construction and development of Nagpur city. Some have built library, some have built garden, some have built hospital, some have constructed schools, all have played an important role in developing Nagpur, Mayor Tiwari wrote in a Facebook post.

 

 

 

 

At 9:30 am on Tuesday, Mayor Tiwari visited the residence of former Mayor Sardar Atal Bahadur Singh, and co-incidentally it was also his birthday.

 

After the visit, till 4:30 pm, he met first woman mayor of the city Kundatai Vijaykar, Former Mayor Rajesh Tambe, Former Mayor Mayatai Ivanate, Vasundhara Masurkar, Nanda Jichkar, Dr Kalpana Pande, Pushpa Ghode, Former Mayor and current MLA Vikas Thakre, Anil Sole, Naresh Gawande, Pandurang Hiwarkar, Kishore Dorle and felicitated them.

Mayor Tiwari said that the meeting was held to express gratitude towards the dignitaries who have contributed to the development process of the city.

 

All these dignitaries could have been honoured by inviting them to Corporation Headquarters, but the work of each mayor is very significant. This work needs to be made known to the new generations in their family, the Mayor said.

 

Today, the city of Nagpur is leading the way in terms of development in the country. Under the ‘visionary’ leadership of Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, the city has reached great heights of development.

 

Today, Nagpur has a ?three layer? flyover with road transport at the bottom and center and Metro Rail running at the top. The ?four layer? flyover is still in operation in the city, he said.

 

Nagpur will be the first city in the country to have three-layer and four-layer transport system. All efforts are being made to increase the height of development of the city in the same way.

 

?But this work needs the advice, guidance and blessings of all the former mayors who have contributed to the development, he added.
