Maharashtra Dy CM Ajit Pawar inspects ongoing work at Tanpura Bridge in Pune

Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar inspects Tanpura Bridge work in Pune, addresses riverbank maintenance and stray dog concerns raised by local citizens.

"Only by coming among the people can one truly understand their problems - Ajit Pawar"

Pune, October 15

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday conducted a review of the ongoing construction work at the Tanpura Bridge in the Shaniwar Peth area of Pune.

Speaking to reporters, Pawar said that while some people appreciated the bridge, others asked for better riverbank maintenance and raised concerns about stray dogs. He promised to act on the suggestions from the local people.

Ajit Pawar said, "Today, my visit is to Pimpri-Chinchwad. Like every time, I wanted to review the ongoing development works. However, the PCMC Commissioner suggested that I first visit the bridge work at Saturday Peth, so I came here first. I inspected the work and interacted with the local people."

"Some appreciated the bridge construction, while some suggested that the riverbank work should be improved further. A few also mentioned the problem of stray dogs. These issues cannot be fully understood by just sitting in the state secretariat. Only by coming among the people can one truly understand their problems. Whatever suggestions the citizens have given, we will take steps to address those shortcomings," Pawar said.

Earlier, on October 11, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar inspected the work on the service road in the Warje area along the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway and reviewed other development projects in Pune.

In a post on X, Pawar said that a review was conducted regarding all aspects, including the quality of the road and the convenience of traffic during this inspection.

"Inspected the work of the service road in the Warje area along the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway today. During this inspection, a review was conducted of all aspects, from the quality of the road to the convenience of traffic," Pawar said in X post.

Maharashtra Deputy CM further stated that he addressed citizens' issues and discussed various development projects.

Similarly, at the entrance of New Ahire Village (Warje Malwadi, Pune), I listened to the issues of the citizens and discussed various development works. Necessary instructions were given to the concerned officials," Pawar added.

Good to see the Dy CM actually visiting sites and listening to people. But let's see if these promises translate into actual work. Pune's infrastructure needs urgent attention across the board.

The stray dog issue is serious - my children are scared to walk in that area. Hope they address this along with the bridge work. Safety should be priority number one.

Riverbank maintenance is crucial! We've seen what happens during heavy rains when riverbanks aren't properly maintained. Hope they don't just focus on the bridge but the surrounding areas too. 🌊

While I appreciate the inspection, I hope this isn't just for show. Pune needs consistent development work, not just visits before elections. The traffic situation in Shaniwar Peth is unbearable during peak hours.

As a local resident, I'm happy our voices are being heard. The bridge construction is much needed, but please ensure quality work that lasts. Too many projects in Pune develop issues within months of completion.
