Pune Metro to take legal action against miscreants defacing pillars on elevated stretch

Several pillars along the elevated stretch of the Pune Metro have been defaced within months of the inauguration of the mass rapid transit system, prompting the authorities to issue a warning to the miscreants. The Pune Metro authorities have also urged the city police and the civic body to safeguard Metro property and to help keep the network clean.

“It is unfortunate that a few people are defacing Metro property, mainly the elevated pillars, to put up advertisements and publicity material. We cannot keep a continuous watch on the miscreants, so we have written to the local police as well as the PMC to keep a watch…” said Brijesh Dixit, managing director of Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (Maha-Metro)
