Baner residents complain of slow pace of road work now causing accidents

PUNE Residents of Baner have demanded completion of road work, citing that as many as 16 commuters who have been grievously injured in various accidents in the past four weeks.

The work of cement concretisation of the road has been underway for the past six months as part of the smart city project.

Most of the accidents have taken place after two-wheelers have skidded on loose gravel and sand left on the road due to the ongoing work.

The local unit of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) also held a demonstration against the slow-paced work and demanded action, including relief and compensation to the accident victims.
