Wagholi bemoans ‘death trap’ road

Pune | Sunday | 17th June, 2018

Summary:

However, no action has been taken yet.Frustrated, the residents finally decided to build the road at their own expense. The Gram Panchayat, according to residents, has written to PMRDA to complete the road construction from their end after which the panchayat will take up the maintenance work. PMRDA is not responsible for the construction or maintenance of this particular road.”The road was last maintained and in usable condition six years ago, after which no government authority has taken the responsibility of fixing it. Residents of Bakori Road in Wagholi have started losing patience as the road leading to the many housing societies here is barely fit to walk or drive on.Despite having become a hub for upscale residential societies, residents claim the approach road is a veritable death trap and has been left semi-constructed ever since the housing projects started coming up.In the past few months, at least 15 accidents have taken place on this road especially affecting senior citizens and expecting mothers. Even if there is an emergency, an ambulance can’t reach us..
