Riverfront development project not linked to Mutha river flooding: PMC

Deputy chief minister and Pune guardian minister Ajit Pawar has denied allegations by civic activists that the ongoing riverfront development project caused flooding of Mutha River. While PMC claims river flooding did not affect the ongoing riverfront development project, photograph shows a part of the plan submerged during heavy rains on Thursday. The civic body also shared pictures of the river at Ganesh Ghat location in Yerawada, where they have completed a sample stretch of the riverfront development project. Civic activists have held PMC responsible for Mula-Mutha river flooding situation, citing the ongoing riverfront development project and construction of metro pillars on the riverbed as main causes.
