PMC Advances Metro Land Transfer, Faces Delays in Extensions and Adjusts Sweeping Contracts
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) approved transferring 665 square metres of land in Dhankawadi to Maha-Metro for the Padmavati metro station, pending final approval. Meanwhile, disagreements between PMC and Maha-Metro over flyover costs and route alignments have delayed tenders for two metro extensions, pushing deadlines to December 30. PMC also cleared funds for public transport reimbursements and school upgrades. Additionally, the PMC administration limited the extension for road-sweeping contractors from nine months to three months, opting for fresh tenders across wards.
