Hinjewadi Residents and IT Workers Protest Over Infrastructure, Demand Government Action
Hundreds of IT employees and residents in Pune's Hinjewadi protested against poor infrastructure, including pothole-ridden roads, traffic congestion, inadequate water supply, and stalled metro services. The protest, supported by Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Aaditya Thackeray, followed the state government's announcement of a ₹426 crore plan and a special task force led by District Collector Jitendra Dudi to improve the area. Protesters demanded timely implementation and warned of further agitation if improvements are not seen within three months.
