How have you been giving shape to the many PMC civic projects in the city over the year-and-half that you have been in office?
I have been counting each day of mine in the city and have just completed 19 months as municipal commissioner. This is interesting work and I don’t think it as a strain on me. So far I could give shape to the cleanliness drive, put public transport in place and focus on infrastructure development. We have also prepared the JNNURM Phase II report for many development works. For the next year, in 2013, my focus will be more on traffic infrastructure, the zero-garbage campaign, sewage treatment plants, Pune Metro Railway, housing-related issues and public transport.
