The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has directed civic officials to speed up road and drainage repairs in the newly merged villages, amid complaints of poor roads, waterlogging and inadequate civic infrastructure during the monsoon.
Mayor Manjusha Nagpure asked civic departments to inspect roads and drainage networks across the newly added villages and take up urgent repairs on priority. The directions include Mhalunge and other newly merged areas where incomplete roads, inadequate drainage, stagnant rainwater and mud have been causing inconvenience to residents.
“There will be no delay in essential works such as roads and drainage. The administration must act promptly and speed up the work to address citizens’ problems,” Nagpure said.
PMC officials have been asked to conduct a location-wise survey of road and drainage problems, set priorities and plan the required funds and manpower. The mayor also stressed that road repairs should be durable rather than limited to temporary patchwork. Drainage blockages should be cleared to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon, said the officials.
Meanwhile, the civic administration has stepped up sanitation inspections in Sus, another newly merged village.
