PMC caves in
After waging a decade-long battle against the civic body, Koregaon Park residents have been successful in getting the
Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) to remove its waste-segregation unit from the area’s centrally located plot reserved for recreational amenities for seniors. On Monday, the PMC finally shifted the plant 600 metre away.
For the last 10 years, members of the All Koregaon Park Citizens’ Committee (AKPCC) had been making all possible efforts including correspondence with authorities, a mass protest and also renaming the area Piggy Park to highlight the problem. On Sunday, PMC officially shifted the unit to a shed near Avani plant.
