Tara villagers have complained to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis and PWD minister Chandrakant Patil, about PWD officials who are not ready to re-measure and revaluate their properties despite many requests.

The four-laning of NH-17 is proving to be controversial, as a villager's RTI application has found that apart from issues regarding former minister Narayan Rane's bungalow, PWD officials who had measured some villagers' houses three times, had increased the size of some from 300 sq ft to 1,400 sq ft. The Pen deputy collector also wrote to PWD officials regarding revaluation, but they haven't responded. Around 30 villagers have received compensation far less than what they should get for their properties.
