An urgent joint meeting is required between the PMC, water resources department, Public Works Department (PWD), MahaMetro, MSEDCL, PMRDA, National Highways Authority, and the Cantonment board to ensure seamless coordination,” the mayor said in a statement. She directed Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) administration to ensure timely completion of the works funded through the National Disaster Management Fund. “With the monsoon only months away and Pune increasingly vulnerable to flooding, the administration must be fully prepared. Addressing the rising frequency of intense rainfall over short periods, the mayor stressed the deployment of quick response teams. “Staffing must be increased where necessary, especially in the city’s newly merged villages. It is crucial that our employees are trained by the NDRF to ensure an effective and rapid response during emergencies,” she added.
