PMC is yet to address an online complaint about a dug-up road at Kothrud for Maha-Metro to lay power cable. One can see speed breakers of various heights and widths on the same stretch of a road in the city. The patchwork and trench repair works are not done as per standard norms. We can certainly say that the roads of Pune are not up to the mark of a “Smart City”. While PMC works mostly miss the deadline, the authorities fail to attend to citizen complaints on bad roads. Though PMC has the responsibility of maintaining good roads, they never fail to miss the deadline. How are the citizens going to live in such a situation? Just a few spells of rain and there is waterlogging everywhere. Fear of municipal action may prompt officials to begin and finish civic works as per schedule.Įxpect bad and potholed-roads, trenches, waterlogging and traffic jams this rainy season as PMC will be unable to finish monsoon preparedness works on time. The departments looking after these works should be made accountable. The road repairs carried out during the rainy season fails its purpose. Whether it is cleaning of stormwater and drainage lines, road repairs or other works, the civic body fails to complete on time and citizens face public inconvenience. The works carried out by PMC are always at a snail’s speed and they mostly miss the deadline related to monsoon.
As the civic affairs are presently run by the municipal commissioner as the administrator, punitive action should be taken against officials who miss the deadline. Residents end up as sufferers of the civic lethargy. While the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) carried out timely beautification works, including road and footpath repairs and road painting, for the G20 summit, the deadline for annual works before the rainy season is generally missed. The delay in completing monsoon preparedness works exposes civic apathy. Hold officials responsible Since the turn of the year, the PMC has dug up many roads across the city under the guise of routine maintenance.
