Citizen’s Voice

All the schools in the city including Pimpri-Chinchwad,Dehu Road,Khadki and Pune city should keep this harsh truth in mind and change their timings.
A 9 or 9.30 am start could be ideal. Schools should not take chances,especially convent schools which are very rigid about timing and so-called discipline. It is time that schools,principals and teachers across the city discuss these issues and take steps that are necessary to secure our children before it is too late.

Motorists at risk
The four-lane roads all over Pune have incredibly sped up travel as vehicles of all sizes fly along these beautiful concreted roads.

They were completed before the CYG but at what cost? They have become death traps as they have been ignorantly and irresponsibly commissioned without road dividers,inviting accidents and deaths. I have myself heard of several deaths on Baner Road in the past few months ever since these beautiful concrete roads were built.

It is criminal to erect 4-lane roads without road dividers. I come home every day happy to be alive as I turn into and our Society on Baner Road. We have tried calling the PMC as well as the ward office but no one in either place seems to know whose job it is to clean up the leftover mess post the hurried whitewashing before the CYG spectacle.

Can the road dividers be erected on 4-lane roads on an urgent basis please before we knowingly stand by and watch more deaths?
