This citizen-centric initiative aligns with PMC's commitment to inclusive urban planning, emphasizing the importance of pedestrian-friendly infrastructure. The walking survey not only serves as a diagnostic tool for existing challenges but also promotes community engagement in shaping the city's development.

The initiative reflects a progressive approach to urban governance, showcasing PMC's dedication to creating a safer and more accessible environment for residents. By actively involving citizens in the evaluation process, the municipal corporation aims to address specific concerns and prioritize improvements that resonate with the community's needs.

As the survey findings unfold, PMC is expected to implement targeted measures to enhance road quality, making significant strides towards creating a cityscape that prioritizes the well-being and convenience of pedestrians.
