Shivajinagar, 22nd January 2025: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is making moves to kickstart several important civic projects that have been on hold for far too long. The PMC has reached out to the state government, asking for the allocation of 15 government-owned land parcels to make these projects a reality.
According to senior PMC officials, the lack of available land has been a major roadblock for many pending initiatives. These projects include constructing water tanks in Bavdhan and Mhalunge, road works in Kothrud and Ambegaon, widening roads in Bhamburde and Mundhwa, creating a sports facility in Shivajinagar, beautifying the riverbank in Sangamwadi, and securing land for a railway overbridge in Ghorpadi.
To acquire these crucial land parcels, the PMC needs to submit formal proposals to the district collector. The estimated cost of acquiring the plots is around ₹25 crore, but the proposal has already received approval from the standing committee and the general body meeting.
One of the key projects awaiting land allocation is the 24×7 water supply scheme, which aims to provide uninterrupted water access to Pune residents. The road widening efforts in Mundhwa and Bhamburde are also expected to ease traffic congestion in these areas. Additionally, the development of a sports ground in Shivajinagar is seen as a step towards promoting recreational activities and sports culture in the city.
PMC officials are hopeful that the state government will fast-track the process, allowing these crucial projects to finally move forward and benefit Pune’s growing population. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story.
