Maharashtra to complete Pune transit projects by 2028

The Maharashtra government has announced plans to complete three major transport projects in Pune by 2028.

These projects include the High Capacity Mass Rapid Transit (HCMTR) system, the Pune Internal Ring Road, and a network of tunnels.

The goal is to reduce traffic congestion in Pune and its surrounding areas.

The projects will be overseen by a high-level committee chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

The government plans to acquire land for the Pune Internal Ring Road through cash compensation.

While these projects aim to improve urban mobility and economic productivity, there are concerns about their environmental impact, including habitat destruction and increased pollution.
