Pune Ring Road Project Stalled: PMRDA, PMC Clash Over Funds, CM to Intervene

• Pune's ambitious internal ring road project, aimed at easing traffic, is stalled due to a funding dispute between PMRDA and PMC.
• The conflict arose after 23 villages' administrative rights were transferred to PMC, leading PMRDA to demand PMC fund land acquisition.
• PMC is reluctant to bear the cost, arguing PMRDA originally planned the project, halting work in villages like Wadachi Wadi and Pisoli.
• Land acquisition for the 83-kilometer ring road, requiring 115 hectares across 13 villages, is completely stopped despite surveys and valuations.
• Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will chair a high-level meeting to resolve the deadlock, with the project's future depending on his decision.
