Chakan’s road mess threatens its industrial engine
Pune's industrial hub, Chakan, is facing a crisis as potholed roads and traffic chaos threaten its economic vitality. The Maharashtra government has acknowledged the infrastructure shortcomings and established a high-level committee to address the issues. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis assured the companies affected that relief measures would be implemented.
Industries Minister Uday Samant visited the region to meet with officials and industrial representatives, while Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde coordinated the discussions via video conference. The government has prioritized pothole repairs and is considering innovative technologies such as pre-cast systems and geo-polymer techno-patch for road restoration.
The MIDC has also pledged to provide land for essential facilities like a solid waste management project, police station, fire station, and electrical substation. The administration aims to implement an action plan swiftly, incorporating both short, medium, and long-term solutions to alleviate the congestion and infrastructure gaps plaguing the industrial belt.
