Proposal seeking ₹637 crore for 678 missing links gathering dust in urban development dept

Hindustan Times  

At a time when Pune city has been ranked the fourth most congested city in the country, a proposal sent to the state government seeking ₹637 crore for completion of 678 missing links is gathering dust in the urban development department at Mantralaya. A survey conducted by the Pune Municipal Corporation road department revealed 678 missing links totalling a length of 459 km. Road department head Aniruddha Pawaskar said that the PMC has sent reminders thrice to the UDD seeking ₹637 crore for the pending missing links. However, both the administrative and political will is missing due to which citizens are suffering with respect to road connectivity and traffic congestion across different suburbs as well as the main areas of Pune city.” Land acquisition for the missing links has become a major hurdle for the PMC as its officials are finding it difficult to negotiate with local landlords despite having legal rights under the development plan.
