However, the sub-district hospital cannot provide healthcare facilities to the devotees. This development is set to fill a critical gap in the region's healthcare system.
In response to the issue, Minister Tanaji Sawant has requested Chief Minister Eknath Shinde to set up a hospital in Pandharpur to enhance the healthcare facility of the region. The Chief Minister agreed to this request, and a government resolution to this effect was issued on Thursday.
