The 136.80-km-long Outer Ring Road project got the nod from Maharashtra government in 2015; it is meant to decongest Pune city roads by diverting the vehicles that are heading to other districts.
The Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development, in partnership with the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs and Housing, announced the decision to Saudize 25 percent of engineering professions in the private sector effective from July 21, 2024.
It was proposed in the master plan that land use of different facilities including residential, commercial and industrial, will not be fixed. But permissions will be given based on width of the roads.
The 136.80-km-long Outer Pune Ring Road is being constructed at an estimated cost of Rs 15,857 crore to help decongest Pune roads by diverting outbound traffic.
