PUNE In a meeting held with the Maharashtra Institute of Technology (MIT), on Monday, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) issued strict instructions to MIT officials to excavate the ‘internal road,’ as well as clear the debris collected nearby housing societies.
This was followed after a week-long tussle between MIT, resident groups and PMC when residents brought to notice that the institute is developing a road along the hill slope of Vetal Tekdi.
Following the campaign by residents which within 48 hours managed to get more than 30,000 signatures for a petition for saving the Vetal Tekdi, which is also marked by PMC as a draft heritage site, MIT officials had called for a meeting with PMC’s city engineer on Monday.
