PUNE Finally, after five years, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has decided to execute its riverfront development project. Sangam bridge to Yerawada will be the stretch developed in the first phase.
The total project cost is Rs2,619 crore.
The same consultant that worked on the Sabarmati riverfront in Ahmedabad will now advise the PMC.
Standing committee chairman Hemant Rasane said,”Like Gujarat’s Sabarmati development project, the Mula-Mutha riverfront, a total of 44km, will be developed.”
This project wil require 768 hectares. Along the river there will be gardens, jogging tracks, and recreational areas. The state government has already cleared this project. Even environment clearance has been received.
