On Sunday, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde inspected road conditions in Chakan and reviewed rapid repair works using new technology. Shinde, along with Industry Minister Uday Samant and Pune District Collector Jitendra Dudi, visited the Chakan-Talegaon industrial belt to address pothole issues during the monsoon season.
The deputy chief minister highlighted that water is the enemy of asphalt, making conventional repairs difficult during heavy rains. To tackle this, the state government is employing geopolymer techno-patches and precast concrete panels for rapid repairs. These methods allow damaged road sections to reopen quickly, with the government also planning long-term solutions such as road construction, stormwater drains, footpaths, and streetlights.
