PMC has deployed dedicated teams to fast-track preliminary land requirement proposals
Roughly 22 hectares of govt, forest, and defence land must be cleared for the HCMTR loop alone.
“We are proactively pushing these discussions with central govt agencies to avoid bureaucratic hurdles or delays in taking possession of these critical land parcels,” a senior Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) official said. Full geometric configurations for all newly proposed corridors have been presented to PMC, according to Maha Metro officials. Pune : PMC is scheduled to hold a crucial coordination meeting next week with senior officials from the railways and the ministry of defence to discuss the handover of vital land parcels required to construct high capacity mass transit route (HCMTR) and the inner ring road projects, both of which are designed to ease severe traffic congestion across the city. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has directed the civic administration to treat both multi-crore transit corridors as high-priority tasks. In response, PMC has deployed dedicated teams to fast-track preliminary land requirement proposals ahead of the inter-departmental talks. Acquiring the necessary clear zones remains an active challenge. Work is currently underway to finalise the detailed project reports for these upcoming mass transit routes.
