Hey Pune folks, exciting news coming your way! The Bombay High Court recently made a decision regarding the controversial Balbharati to Paud Phata road project in Kothrud. The court has ruled against interfering in the PMC’s affairs, dismissing a petition challenging the project. Looks like the road construction is going full steam ahead!
But hold on, the Vetal Tekdi Bachav Kruti Samiti isn’t backing down just yet. They’re gearing up to explore their legal options and might even take the fight to the Supreme Court. It seems like this road project is really stirring up some heated debates.
The proposed road, part of the PMC’s Development Plan, aims to ease traffic congestion in the area by connecting Kothrud and SB Road. However, environmentalists are up in arms, claiming that the project could harm the ecology of the region. It’s a classic case of progress vs. preservation.
The High Court’s decision came after a petition was filed by the Nagari Chetana Manch, but it seems like the court was satisfied with the PMC’s procedures. Looks like the road construction is back on track, much to the relief of commuters in the area.
Prajakta Panshikar from the Vetal Tekdi Bachav Kruti Samiti pointed out some flaws in the project’s Detailed Project Report. The Samiti is demanding that the PMC show how the road will benefit the public. It’s clear that there’s still some debate to be had on this issue.
So, Puneites, stay tuned for more updates on this hot topic. It looks like the road to progress in Kothrud is anything but smooth!
