With only 15 days left for the financial year to come to an end, the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) road department is struggling to complete its projects scattered around the city by March 31.

The PMC is in a hurry to utilise the unused amount of Rs 269.83 crore. However, only 15 days are left before the budget for the next financial year is announced.

The PMC has a spillover of Rs 70 crore which will be transferred to other departments and will be spent as part of budget for the next financial year.

Lets examine how will these projects benefit you once they are completed:

Concretisation of Range Hills Main Road:
The road is directly linked to old Pune-Mumbai Highway. It will save time to reach the highway.

"We badly needed this road. If the road is completed soon, we can use it for going to Pimpri-Chinchwad for our routine work. The proposed concrete road will help us in using cars in big numbers."
