She has demanded that the paintings should start simplest after paintings on the choice highway is completed.

Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has began paintings on the Hinjawadi to Shivajinagar Metro six months after the stone-laying at the hands of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The PMRDA has began barricading portions of Hinjawadi Phase three for the soil trying out and other paintings related to Metro. This has led to panic a number of the citizens and IT professionals because the step is prone to cause site visitors jams. They were demanding for a few years now that steps should be taken to resolve the site visitors woes in the space. Accordingly, more than a few civic bodies and municipal authorities from the city had began taking measures to resolve the issues. As a part of the method, 3 new roads had been being constructed which would provide alternatives for the folk coming into from other portions of Pune and Pimpri-Chinchawad. However, while the roads are nowhere close to finishing touch, the paintings for Metro has been began up to now few days.

It is towards the backdrop of this situation that Sule has written to Patil. Speaking to Mirror about her demand she mentioned, “It was once made up our minds that the paintings for Metro would start simplest after the alternative highway paintings is entire. This has no longer came about. Since many IT professionals from the rustic and in another country consult with this space there's a want to make certain that site visitors chaos is have shyed away from. Considering this, I urge the authorities to step up and entire the alternative roads and halt the Metro paintings until then.”

Dnyanendra Hulsure, president, Hinjawadi Employees’ and Residents’ Association, mentioned, “Recently they did some pipeline paintings in Hinjawadi from Shivaji Road to Wakad. As a result, simplest part the road is lately usable. Nande-Chande highway is simplest 50 in line with cent able. Bhumkar Chowk stretch and Mhalunge-Maan Road don't seem to be entire because of land acquisition issues, this means that none of the roads are entire. So if they start paintings from Phase three and are available to Phase 1even the prevailing stretch goes to get blocked. If they start Metro paintings on best of this then it'll result in chaos and as in line with plan Metro goes to take two and part years to complete.”

Sudhir Deshmukh, convenor, Free Up Hinjawadi marketing campaign, mentioned, “The site visitors situation has simplest began improving just lately with one-ways in position. Even all over our marketing campaign we had made explicit demands. We want the 3 choice roads to be finished soon. Also the existing bottlenecks should be cleared.”

However, we can see to it that the road paintings will get finished as soon as imaginable. I've asked the authorities to resolve the issues.”
