Pimpri-Chinchwad Residents Slam PCMC Over New Road Collapse
A new road in Pimpri-Chinchwad collapsed during heavy rains, causing a lot of trouble for people who use it every day.
The road was built just a few months ago, so people are upset that it broke so quickly.
They say the city government, called PCMC, should fix it right away.
PCMC says they are looking into the problem and will take action after getting more information.
The road is closed, and people have to take a long detour, which is very inconvenient.
Residents are asking PCMC to fix the road as soon as possible to make things normal again.
A newly constructed road in Pimpri-Chinchwad collapsed during heavy rains in early July.
The collapse has caused significant inconvenience, forcing commuters to take a 3-4 km detour.
Residents allege poor quality construction and delayed repairs by the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
PCMC has issued a notice to the builder, seeking an explanation and promising action after receiving the builder's reply and a civil department report.
Residents demand immediate repair of the road to restore normal traffic movement and prevent further inconvenience.
