Pune Municipal Corporation to Dismantle Defunct Mechanical Parking Facility
The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has approved the dismantling of the long-defunct multi-level mechanical parking facility at Chhatrapati Sambhaji Park on Jungli Maharaj Road due to safety concerns and financial impracticality. The structure has remained closed for years because of maintenance challenges and lack of technical expertise. After a tender process, Hadapsar-based Sparktech Engineering was selected to carry out the dismantling. Officials cited the high cost of restoration compared to expected revenue as a key factor in the decision.
