Pune ring road plan: PMRDA holds preliminary talks with villages for upcoming town planning schemes
PMRDA officials have assured farmers in Maval taluka that land acquisition for upcoming Town Planning schemes along the inner ring road will only proceed with their consent
PUNE: The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) officials on Thursday assured farmers that no land would be acquired for upcoming Town Planning (TP) schemes along the inner ring road in Maval taluka without their consent.
The scheme proposes a 65-metre-wide bypass road network through the villages of Dhamane, Godumbare, Darumbre, Salumbre, Sangwade, and Nere. It is part of the state government's phased plan to address mounting traffic congestion in the region. In the PMRDA budget, 15 town planning schemes were proposed along the ring road.
At a consultation meeting held at the PMRDA office on Thursday, PMRDA Commissioner Yogesh Mhase told farmers that their concerns would be addressed before any acquisition took place.
'We will not move forward without the consent of all affected farmers,' he said, adding that the authority would first clarify doubts, ensure proper coordination, and work to protect farmers' interests.
