I happened to pass the Sus road at the time of this function presided by the mayor of Pune, but was hardly aware of what was going on - perhaps a private function i thought.Earlier, one fine day in Oct 2009, I was at PMC head office and chatting with addl. city road engineer mr. Tayade about the pb link road tender. He informed then there were several land acquisition issues along the stretch but the work would anyways commence in early Jan 2010 and be completed by March and that the road would be done in patches whereever pmc has been able to acquire land.
This is evident in the picture below taken just outside WWind :
Builder had long ago handed over land to both MSEB and PMC for the proposed DP road. Then again the road is dug-up opposite k.sahwas probably for grouting work and also where this road touches the Sus road. Thats it ! The work seem to be abandoned for over 2 weeks now - in a style so typical of PMC contractors !My thoughts on the upcoming PBLR are at this post dated 25-July-2009:
