Pune Commissioner Orders Kharadi-Keshav Nagar Bridge Open by August 15
People in the city of Pune take care of roads, bridges, and other public places.
The person in charge of this is called the Municipal Commissioner, and his name is Naval Kishore Ram.
He went to look at a new bridge between Kharadi and Keshav Nagar on Monday.
He told the workers to open the bridge for cars and commuters by August 15.
The bridge will open even though some parts of the roads leading to it are not finished yet.
He also checked on a big road called North Main Road.
There, workers need to move some wires and get some land so they can make the road wider.
He visited the road near Hadapsar railway station as well.
There, workers are fixing drains and sewer pipes, and he asked them to work faster because many vehicles use that road.
