Wagholi, once a peripheral village on Pune’s eastern edge, has rapidly transformed into a major residential and IT hub after being merged into the Pune Municipal Corporation limits. However, residents say civic infrastructure has not kept pace with this growth, leading to long-standing issues related to water supply, drainage, roads, traffic congestion, sanitation, and public safety. With the PMC elections scheduled for January 15, citizens have come together to formally raise these concerns through a detailed, citizen-led charter of demands.
The 40-point charter focuses on core civic needs, including sewage and drainage upgrades to prevent monsoon flooding, removal of garbage depots near housing societies, reliable water supply, uninterrupted electricity, traffic management on key roads, and better public transport connectivity. Residents are also seeking Metro extension to Wagholi, improved PMPML services, safer pedestrian infrastructure, healthcare facilities, quality government schools, green spaces, and stronger policing. Transparency and accountability form a key part of the demands, with calls for asset declarations, disclosure of legal backgrounds, and regular engagement between elected representatives and citizens. The charter is positioned as a non-political checklist aimed at ensuring measurable improvements in Wagholi’s quality of life over the next five years.

Incomplete road works across Pune are increasingly disrupting daily travel, with dug-up stretches, uneven surfaces, and traffic congestion affecting key corridors such as Tilak Road, Fergusson College Road, and University Road. Road milling activities by the Pune Municipal Corporation have intensified ahead of the Pune Grand Tour 2026, but delays in resurfacing have raised serious concerns about commuter safety, traffic flow, and accident risks, especially for two-wheelers and cars.

Residents say PMC road repair planning lacks coordination, as milling and drainage replacement works often begin without prior notice, traffic diversions, or clear timelines. Although civic officials state that milling typically takes 24 to 48 hours, many Pune roads remain unfinished beyond this period due to material shortages and execution delays. With over 75 km of city roads under revamp, citizens are demanding fixed deadlines, better communication, and stronger accountability to ensure safer and smoother movement across Pune.

Hundreds of domestic helpers working in Pune’s Bhosalenagar face daily danger while crossing the busy Ganeshkhind Road, often paying autorickshaws just to avoid being run over. This fear turned into tragedy on November 21, when a 42-year-old domestic worker was hit by a speeding two-wheeler while crossing the road. Though initially treated for fractures and sent home, she later developed severe complications and died days after the accident. Her family suspects internal injuries were missed during the first medical examination. She is survived by her husband and two adult sons.
Residents and workers say the incident highlights long-standing neglect of pedestrian safety on Ganeshkhind Road and other arterial routes like Chandni Chowk and Nagar Road, where infrastructure upgrades prioritised vehicle movement over walkability. With speeding traffic, missing footpaths, unsafe crossings and weak enforcement, pedestrians remain vulnerable. Following the incident, residents’ groups have written to PMC and Pune Police demanding a road safety audit, raised pedestrian crossings, better lighting, traffic calming measures and continuous footpaths as per IRC norms. Locals argue that road safety on this stretch is no longer just a traffic issue, but a matter of social justice affecting the city’s most vulnerable citizens.

Pune Municipal Corporation is expected to generate around ₹200 crore every year from building permissions in merged areas after planning powers shifted from PMRDA to PMC. This change in Pune building permission authority is aimed at streamlining approvals, reducing administrative overlap, and improving governance in fast growing suburban zones that were added to PMC limits in 2017.

The PMC merged areas development plan covers nine villages with a current population of nearly six lakh, projected to rise significantly by 2035. Civic officials have linked this revenue to infrastructure investment of over ₹1,500 crore, including water supply networks and sewage treatment systems, while residents in areas like Ambegaon continue to highlight gaps between rapid real estate development and basic civic services.

The Pune Municipal Corporation has increased vigilance along the Mula-Mutha river stretch near Yerawada and Nagar Road after repeated complaints of illegal dumping of construction debris and garbage. During a recent inspection of roads, garbage collection points, and the riverbed, civic officials directed ward teams to monitor vulnerable locations in two shifts and document recent dumping incidents so that action can be taken against offenders.


Residents from the Yerawada and Shantinagar areas have urged the PMC to track vehicles involved in dumping waste, especially along open plots and the riverbank. Civic officials said steps are also being taken to eliminate feeder points that allow garbage to accumulate, improve household waste management, and address garbage burning. As part of a coordinated drive, the ward office and road department will also clear obstacles near Ambedkar Chowk to improve traffic movement while strengthening cleanliness and river protection efforts in the area.

Land acquisition for the proposed Purandar airport in Pune district is expected to move forward as the Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation plans to allocate around ₹6,000 crore for the process. The Pune district administration has already submitted the proposal, and officials say it is in the final stages of clearance. The acquisition covers nearly 1,285 hectares across seven villages, with farmer consent received for most of the land, while approvals for a small portion are still pending.
Under the existing notification, farmers have been offered compensation of ₹1 crore per acre along with additional benefits such as double compensation for on-site assets, payment for fruit-bearing trees, and 10 percent developed land. However, affected farmers have rejected the offer, demanding higher rates and better rehabilitation benefits similar to those provided in projects like the Pune ring road and Navi Mumbai airport. The district administration is now planning meetings between farmer representatives and the state government to negotiate compensation and finalize the rehabilitation package for the Purandar airport project.

Dust and noise pollution at a Baner construction site came under regulatory focus after the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board conducted a site inspection following National Green Tribunal directions. The Baner real estate project inspection involved checking air quality levels, noise pollution standards, and on-ground compliance with environmental norms applicable to construction activity in Pune.
MPCB officials confirmed that air quality monitoring stations and noise monitoring equipment were installed at the Baner construction site to assess real-time pollution levels. The Pune pollution control inspection will guide further action, including a decision on environmental damage compensation, highlighting how NGT oversight and MPCB enforcement are shaping construction compliance, environmental safety, and real estate development standards in Pune’s high-density residential zones.

Bridge safety in Pune district has come under intense scrutiny after the district collector directed PMC, PCMC, PWD, Zilla Parishad, and irrigation authorities to submit action taken reports on unsafe bridges and culverts. The Pune bridge safety audit was ordered following the Kundmala bridge collapse over the Indrayani river, which exposed serious risks linked to ageing infrastructure and gaps in regular structural maintenance across urban and rural areas.
Official data from the Pune infrastructure safety review shows that over 500 bridges and public structures have been flagged as either needing urgent repairs or classified as dangerous. Pune disaster management authorities have warned that delays in bridge repair work could pose severe public safety risks, especially during monsoon conditions, and have instructed departments to immediately repair salvageable structures and demolish unsafe ones to prevent future accidents.

The Ahilyanagar–Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar highway has deteriorated sharply, with a 42 kilometre stretch between Wadala and Ahilyanagar developing deep and widespread potholes that have made travel slow and unsafe. The damaged highway has disrupted regular weekend movement, forcing many commuters to divert via the Samruddhi Expressway, despite the longer distance and higher travel cost.
Daily commuters travelling between Pune and Sambhajinagar report driving speeds dropping below 30 kilometres per hour due to severe road damage, increasing travel time by several hours. Residents along the highway say repeated patchwork repairs have failed to address the core issue, while accidents and vehicle damage continue to rise. Although the Public Works Department has announced temporary repairs and approved resurfacing funds, commuters and villagers are demanding complete reconstruction to restore safety and reliability on this key Maharashtra highway.
