Improving road infrastructure and ensuring smoother connectivity to Pune Airport remain key priorities.

Today, inspected key road stretches in Viman Nagar, Symbiosis Road, Nagpur Chawl–509 Chowk and North Main Road to review ongoing works and identify measures to ease traffic congestion.

Officials have been directed to expedite road widening, remove encroachments, complete pending land acquisition and ensure that ongoing infrastructure projects are completed within stipulated timelines.

Key directives include:
▪️ Widening Symbiosis Road from Ramwadi underpass towards Pune Airport to 30 metres as per the sanctioned Development Plan.
▪️ Regular removal of encroachments by hawkers and vendors at identified points along VVIP Road, Symbiosis Road and Shubh Chowk in Viman Nagar.
▪️ Expediting road widening from Nagpur Chawl and Jail Road Police Chowky to 509 Chowk, via Wickfield Chowk, to improve airport connectivity.
▪️ Holding a meeting with Air Force Station Lohegaon officials to discuss the proposed road through the Air Force premises from 509 Chowk towards Dhanori Main Road.
▪️ Completing the ongoing road works on North Main Road at the earliest.
▪️ Fast-tracking land acquisition for the 30-metre-wide road planned under Section 205 near Aero Mall.

Coordinated action by all concerned departments is essential to strengthen Pune's road network, improve access to the airport and provide commuters with a smoother, safer and more efficient travel experience.

Senior civic and police officials, along with representatives of the concerned departments, participated in the inspection.

Interacted with PMC sanitation workers at the ‘Swachh Samvad’ melava organised by the Solid Waste Management Department, listening to their concerns, challenges and suggestions. Felicitated exemplary staff and reaffirmed our commitment to strengthening coordination and fostering a stronger bond between the administration and its workforce.

Sanitation goes beyond waste collection—it is about public health, dignity and quality of life. Our sanitation workers are the backbone of Swachh Pune, and their well-being and empowerment are vital to building a cleaner, healthier and more liveable city.

Pune has been a frontrunner in education, culture, arts, the freedom struggle and is now emerging as a GCC hub. *Why should we look to other cities for a sanitation model? Pune can lead by developing its own model of Swachh Pune, Sundar Pune*

Every effort counts!
