Residents cry foul as NIBM annexe slope reopening delayed yet again
Hindustan TimesResidents of NIBM, Mohammadwadi and Undri are extremely disappointed with the road department of the Pune Municipal Corporation for postponing yet again the reopening of one side of the Anandvan Slope Road. Avinash Kamthe, PMC sub-engineer in charge of the slope reduction work, said, “Currently, we are completing road curation work and final touches are being given to the side margin works. The area residents also held a huge protest march condemning the civic body for its inaction and delay with respect to the road construction work. A right to information query on property tax recovered by the PMC from the area revealed that the civic body had collected Rs223 crores from the area residents whereas the RTI was silent on specific questions related to how much the civic body had spent on development of the road and the water supply infrastructure in the area.
