  "account": "On November 5, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister and Pune Minister Sunetra Pawar officially opened the much-delayed ₹65 crore Military Dairy Farm railway overbridge in Pimpri. The inauguration ceremony occurred at around 6 pm. The bridge, built by the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) at a cost of ₹65.28 crore, is designed to eliminate the waiting time at the railway crossing on the Pune-Lonavala railway line. With its four-lane structure, the overbridge connects Pimpri, Pimple Saudagar, Rahatani, and Kalewadi, enhancing connectivity in the region. The event was attended by PCMC Commissioner Dr Vijay Suryawanshi, Pimpri-Chinchwad Mayor Ravi Landge, and various political figures from the BJP and NCP parties. However, the local NCP unit appears to have organized the program largely on its own, inviting the political representatives and officials. Sunetra Pawar did not engage with the media following the inauguration, leaving shortly after the ribbon-cutting ceremony. The four-lane bridge, measuring approximately 565 meters in length and 17.2 meters in width, spans 1,290 meters, including approach roads. Despite facing multiple setbacks, including delays in obtaining Defense Department permissions, land clearances, tree removal permissions, and railway approvals, the project is now complete. Initially projected to be finished within 24 months, the completion date has been extended three times, with the latest being July 31, 2026.",
