Reported by Tikam Shekhawat
Pune, 9th January 2025: In a coordinated effort to enhance traffic flow near Pune University, PMC Commissioner Rajendra Bhosle, PMRDA Commissioner Yogesh Mhase, and Additional CP Manoj Patil conducted an on-site visit to the under-construction flyover bridge near Modern College. The visit aimed to finalize arrangements for acquiring land from Modern College to facilitate the construction of a ramp on the Pashan side of the flyover.
Besides proposed ramp there will be a two-way road on the Pashan side, necessitating a road widening plan of 2.5 to 5 meters. During the site visit, PMRDA officials presented a proposal to the Progressive Education Society’s Deputy Secretary, Dr. Nivedita Ekbote, to secure a land parcel for the project.
Discussions focused on finalizing compensation for the land acquisition, which PMRDA has committed to organizing by the evening of January 9, 2025. This step is critical for ensuring timely handover of the land by Modern College to PMRDA, enabling the project’s progress.
Speaking to Punekar News, PMRDA Commissioner Yogesh Mhase emphasized the significance of the ramp in resolving traffic congestion in the area. PMC Commissioner Rajendra Bhosle and Dr. Nivedita Ekbote also expressed optimism about the collaborative approach to resolve logistical challenges swiftly.
