Hey there, environmental enthusiasts! It looks like the controversial road project in the Vetal Tekdi area is back on track. The Bombay High Court recently lifted the stay on the project, dismissing concerns raised by activists about deforestation and ecological damage. But don’t worry, the fight is not over yet – activists are gearing up to take the case to the Supreme Court for a fresh stay.
On the other side of the ring, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is not taking any chances. They have filed a ‘caveat’ in the Supreme Court to make sure that their arguments are heard before any final decision is made. PMC is also reevaluating whether additional approvals are needed from the environmental and forest departments for the project, just to be on the safe side.
The proposed road will stretch about two kilometers, with some sections elevated to minimize the impact on the hill. The final steps will depend on the results of the ongoing review. So, stay tuned for more updates on this ongoing environmental saga!
