Residents of Aundh, Baner, Balewadi, and Pashan have voiced their concerns during a recent Mohalla Committee meeting held in Pune. The committee demanded that the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) address various issues affecting their areas, including the scarcity of water and the construction of new buildings.
The Baner-Balewadi-Pashan Residents Association (BBPRA) members have raised additional issues such as cleaning storm-water drains and unnecessary overhead cables.
The residents have requested that the PMC refrain from granting permission to construct new buildings in the area until the water scarcity issue is resolved. They have also demanded a survey of nullahs and storm-water drains to prevent waterlogging during the rainy season. Furthermore, the residents have raised concerns regarding a garbage sorting station in the vicinity of Sai Chowk and 43 Private Drive society. They want the station to be relocated as the garbage sorting is rendering the footpath unusable for pedestrians.
Sandip Khalate, Aundh Ward officer and assistant municipal commissioner, has assured that the PMC will consider the demands raised in the Mohalla Committee meeting. The removal of unnecessary overhead cables is already underway, and the PMC will ensure that the garbage does not spill onto the footpath. The storm-water drains will also be cleaned in preparation for the upcoming monsoon season.
If the PMC does not relocate the garbage sorting station within 15 days, the residents have threatened to hold a protest march.
