Dudi said merely filling potholes is not enough and stressed the need for an effective stormwater drainage network to ensure proper runoff. During a review meeting of a high-level task force constituted to address traffic congestion and infrastructure issues in the Chakan and Hinjewadi industrial areas district collector Jitendra Dudi directed govt agencies to remove temporary encroachments on drains immediately and take action against unauthorised constructions. “Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC) and Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) will survey drains falling under their respective jurisdictions and compile details of encroachments. The move comes as recurring waterlogging and road infrastructure problems continue to plague the Chakan industrial belt. The task force also reviewed road widening, junctions, medians and U-turns in the area.

The collector asked police to take action against unauthorised stopping and parking of buses and other vehicles on highways and service roads, and ensure that vehicles stop only at designated bus stops and planned depots.
