PMC Elections: Wagholi Candidates from NCP Outline 100-Day Governance Blueprint for Ward 4
Wagholi, 9th January 2026: With the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) elections approaching, candidates from the Nationalist Congress Party’s Ajit Pawar faction contesting from Ward No. 4 have announced a detailed 100-day action programme focused on immediate civic improvements.
Candidates Nanasaheb Kondiba Abnave, Vasundhara Shivdas Ubale, Darshana Swapnil Pathare and Sameer Dattatray Bhadale said the plan is designed to deliver time-bound results on issues that directly affect daily life in the area.
Unveiling the roadmap during their campaign outreach, the candidates said their priorities include drinking water supply, public safety, road conditions, pedestrian facilities and traffic regulation. They stressed that transparency, accountability and active citizen involvement would guide their functioning if elected.
Addressing water scarcity emerged as the foremost concern in the proposed plan. The candidates said a ward-level audit of pipelines and storage facilities would be carried out to identify leakages and distribution gaps. Areas facing acute shortages would be supported through mobile water supply units, while periodic water quality testing would be conducted, with reports made accessible to residents.
Public safety also features prominently in the agenda. The candidates proposed closer coordination with local police to strengthen patrolling in sensitive pockets of the ward. They said community policing initiatives would be promoted, along with a structured system for residents to flag safety-related issues and receive timely responses.
To deal with deteriorating road conditions, the candidates announced a “zero pothole” initiative. Under this, dedicated teams would be deployed for rapid repairs using fast-curing materials. A complaint-tracking mechanism, accessible to the public, is also proposed to ensure monitoring of road repair works.
Improving pedestrian infrastructure is another focus area. The plan includes regular cleaning of footpaths, installation of garbage bins along busy stretches and repairs to damaged walkways using durable materials. Special attention would be given to accessibility, with ramps and safer pathways planned for senior citizens and persons with disabilities.
The candidates also said they would take steps to clear illegal encroachments through systematic identification using mapping tools, followed by due process. Reclaimed spaces would be restored for public and community use.
On traffic management, the proposed measures include the installation of smart traffic signals at congestion-prone junctions, stricter enforcement of no-parking rules and coordination with public transport agencies to improve vehicular flow.
“Our aim is to move beyond announcements and focus on execution with clear timelines,” the candidates said in a joint statement. “The 100-day plan reflects our commitment to visible, measurable change and to building a cleaner, safer and more organised Ward 4.”
They added that regular interaction with residents would be maintained to review progress and make course corrections wherever required.
