Residents of Sahakarnagar II have questioned the
Pune Municipal Corporation (
PMC) collecting taxes from them when it does not give any civic amenities in return. They have said that issues of garbage collection, pending monsoon works, illegal tree cutting and delayed electricity tasks have increased their daily struggles.

Sahakarnagar is a prime location and has been part of the municipal corporation ever since its formation.

Another lockdown – started in the city last month - has prompted hundreds of Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (
PMPML) workers to strategise how to survive another year of uncertain times.
At least 1,700 daily wage workers of the
transport utility have been put off work, like in 2020, and are not being paid.
