However, the current Shinde-Fadnavis government has not provided significant funds or solutions for Nanded’s traffic problems.
The construction of the extended auditorium of Demokratir Annabhau Sathe at CIDCO has commenced. A fund of 20 lakh rupees was secured MLA Hambarde to support this development project.
Farmers affected by the Nanded-Jalna expressway have finally received justice after two years of advocacy in the assembly. The government has acknowledged the demand for re-evaluation of the lands. This success is dedicated to the farmers who lost their lands to the Nanded-Jalna Samrudhi Highway.

Construction of a robust cement concrete road from Mahadev Temple to Holi Chowk, Pratibha Niketan School in Navghat area, Ward No. 14. This project, funded with ₹50 lakh from the MLA fund, aims to improve the traffic system for residents in the old city area of Holi and permanently resolve traffic congestion issues.
MLA Hambarde worked to ensure farmers receive electricity both day and night. A 33 KV, 5 MVA transformer was installed at the Mohanpura substation, benefiting farmers in 10 to 12 villages in the Betsangvi area. This will provide daytime electricity, easing the burden of nighttime irrigation. Future plans include installing similar transformers at each substation in the constituency to ensure reliable electricity for all farmers in Nanded South.
