Puneites want DF govt to deliver,seek more development projects

“All issues are pending. The proposals of PMRDA and ring road are all pending. Even the civic body work has not progressed. Now,the blast has only highlighted the lapses in security. The money meant for the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is still pending with the government and this is delaying any development work,” he says.

Sena spokesperson Neelam Gorhe said that in the present situation,the police chowkies are operating as post offices.

“How secure are citizens?” she asks. Law and order is not in place. Not a single project has gained the required momentum.

She also points out the lapses in the education system. “The government has completely lost its focus,” Gorhe says.

Activist Vijay Kumbhare too is of the same opinion. From failure to give securtity to whistleblowers,rising prices and low salaries,the common man is the most-affected. “The blast only shows the security lapses and the common man feels more threatened,” he points out.

Even as the government is deliberating on rolling out the PMRDA,a senior government officer said that the government is still deliberating on the source of the seed capital and the area for the project.
