Citizens in Pune are feeling the weight of heavy taxation, with some even being forced to sell their properties to make ends meet. This issue has been exacerbated by Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s promise to only double the village panchayat tax, which has not been fulfilled.
A recent action committee meeting saw a large turnout of activists, including NCP party’s Khadakwasla president Kaka Chavan and other local leaders. The committee is pushing for a revised tax structure that aligns with Pawar’s promise, as well as the provision of basic facilities to the villages.
In response to the lack of action from the administration, a strike has been planned for Friday as the first step in a series of protests. Committee members have warned that if their demands are not met, they will move forward with a resolution to strike the municipality. The success of this protest will be crucial in determining the future of these villages.
The strike is set to take place on September 26, with the details of the time and location to be announced. Key demands include a fair income tax levy, access to basic facilities, and administrative accountability. It is essential for the Pune Municipal Corporation to address the needs of these newly incorporated villages to ensure fair taxation and equitable development.
