Pune municipal administration approves roads digging of 328 km

04 May 2023 CW Team

Road digging may continue this year during the monsoon season as well as the municipal administration has authorised numerous commercial and governmental enterprises to install service channels. The plans for 328 km of new roads have been authorised by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC). Road digging will therefore continue through the end of May, and since the local government will likely need to complete the process of repairing the roads during the rainy season, commuters and motorists will once again experience annoyance and difficulties.

After the monsoon season is over, the municipal road department will allow road digging. The government has accepted proposals from both private and public businesses to lay various service lines. Field offices perform a variety of tasks including municipal water delivery, road maintenance, sewerage maintenance, and other tasks. As a result, it has been authorised to dig roads of total length of 328 kilometres in length until March 31, 2023. These projects are still under progress. In addition, certain city streets are being dug up to build new water conduits as part of the equal water supply project.

The Municipal Corporation's regulations state that the road excavating work must be finished by May 15th. The majority of the work is still unfinished, though. As a result, it is possible to receive an extension like once a year to do these works. The local government won't begin the process of rebuilding the roads until the road excavating work is finished. The monsoon will be used to resurface roads because it is predicted to begin by then, similar to last year.
