MSRDC revises Pune Ring Road alignment; saves ₹800 crore

The revision comes after residents of the large housing project comprising over 300 flats – a portion of which fell within the original alignment of Ring Road – demanded compensation of four times the cost of their units

To avoid legal and financial complications, MSRDC reworked the alignment to skirt the said residential area. Officials said that the revised route not only prevents displacement of residents but also eliminates a key hurdle delaying the project. (REPRESENTATIVE PHOTO)
