Building Pune: Finally, PMC to appoint contractor for incomplete stretch of Baner-Pashan link road
The road was sanctioned in 1992 and construction began in 2014 but the stretch in question was not constructed as land couldn’t be acquired for the 200-metre stretch.
In 2021, the Baner-Pashan Link Road Welfare Trust filed a petition seeking court direction to complete the incomplete portion of the road in a time-bound manner. The Pune civic body has finally decided to appoint a contractor to construct the 200-metre incomplete stretch of the 1.2-km-long Baner-Pashan link road, crucial for providing road connectivity to around 2.5 lakh people between Baner, Balewadi and Pashan.
The road was sanctioned in 1992 and construction began in 2014 but the stretch in question was not constructed as land couldn’t be acquired for the 200-metre stretch.
Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram said, “The PMC has decided to complete 12 of the 33 identified missing links, including the Baner-Pashan link road, this year. Budgetary provision for acquisition of land has been made.”
“The PMC has already deposited Rs 25 crore to the district land acquisition authority for acquiring 200 metre of the proposed road stretch on Baner-Pashan link road,” said Rajesh Bankar, chief engineer and in-charge of the civic roads department.
