Citizens critique the civic body’s
proposal to widen 335 roads in the innards of the city’s many neighbourhoods
In a city fighting to retain its fast-dwindling green cover, citizens seem to be in constant conflict with the civic body and its different urban development proposals. The latest is
Pune Municipal Corporation’s (
PMC) proposal to widen 335 roads across the city, to a breadth of nine metres. With many of the identified streets being the leafy by-lanes of Deccan area, local residents are up in arms questioning the need to expand these stretches that see sparse traffic.
