Maharashtra Deputy CM Ajit Pawar Inspects Ongoing Tanpura Bridge Work in Pune.

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar on Wednesday conducted a thorough review of the ongoing construction work at the Tanpura Bridge in the Shaniwar Peth area of Pune. During his visit, Pawar interacted with local residents and addressed their concerns, promising to take action on their suggestions.

Speaking to reporters, Pawar said, “Some people appreciated the bridge construction, while others suggested that the riverbank work should be improved further. A few also mentioned the problem of stray dogs. These issues cannot be fully understood by just sitting in the state secretariat. Only by coming among the people can one truly understand their problems. Whatever suggestions the citizens have given, we will take steps to address those shortcomings.”

Pawar explained that although his primary visit was to Pimpri-Chinchwad to review development projects, the Pune Municipal Commissioner recommended he first inspect the bridge work at Saturday Peth. “I came here first, inspected the work, and interacted with the local people,” he added.

This visit follows Pawar’s October 11 inspection of the service road construction in the Warje area along the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway, where he reviewed multiple development initiatives. In a post on X, Pawar said, “Inspected the work of the service road in the Warje area along the Pune-Bengaluru National Highway today. During this inspection, a review was conducted of all aspects, from the quality of the road to the convenience of traffic.”

He also visited the entrance of New Ahire Village (Warje Malwadi, Pune), where he listened to citizen grievances and discussed ongoing development projects. “Necessary instructions were given to the concerned officials,” Pawar added.

The Deputy CM’s recent visits underscore the state government’s commitment to infrastructure development and proactive engagement with local communities in Pune.
