Latur District Budget 2026: Known as an educational and medical hub, Latur district is an important link connecting the border areas of Vidarbha, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh. Citizens are expressing the feeling that the Latur district has been neglected in terms of geographical, educational, medical, tourism and medicinal research prospects. Many national highways pass through Latur district. However, due to the low height of many bridges on this highway, in this year’s heavy rains, large amount of water flowed from the village roads along with the state roads and the bridges on the national highway.

As a result, traffic had to be stopped several times. In some places, citizens lost their lives due to being washed away in the flood water. Against this backdrop, provision for highways was expected in the Union Budget. Increasing the height of bridges, taking protective measures in flood prone areas. There is no concrete mention of this. Although the production of Vande Bharat coaches will start soon at the Marathwada Railway Coach Factory, it does not reflect independent financial planning for the overall development of Latur district.

Although there are many historical and religious tourist places in the district like Ausa fort, Udgir fort, religious places in Nilanga and Renapur talukas, no special provision has been made in the budget for tourism development. Also, Vadwal Nagnath’s plant island is famous in the country and abroad for its herbs and a large number of citizens come here for treatment and research of chronic diseases. But it is clear that there is no concrete plan in the budget for the development of this sector.

Due to the low height bridges on the national highway in Latur district, there is a constant risk of floods and accidents. Therefore, traffic has to be stopped frequently during heavy rains. Sometimes there are incidents of loss of life. However, no action was taken. There is no separate provision for historical and religious tourist places. There is no plan for research and development of Vadval Nagnath herbal island. Despite academic medical hubs, lack of future-oriented financial planning is affecting children. Neglecting all these things has stunted the development of Latur.
