The civic administration will soon open the first women’s gymnasium in sector 20 of Belapur and work processes are underway to set up the required infrastructure and equipment for this pilot project. I realized that if NMMC were to provide a gym, it would receive great response from women and therefore I had proposed the idea last year,” said Patil. A community centre exists in every node and NMMC should consider allocating some space exclusively for women’s health,” said Nerul resident Varsha Datta.
