Pune: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) is thinking of constructing a food plaza of 2 floors at Sarasbaug. The proposal has been sent for approval and the final decision is yet to be announced.
Speaking to Pune Pulse, Madhav Jagtap, Deputy Commissioner, Encroachment Department, PMC, said, “As of now, the PMC is only considering about erecting a food plaza at Sarasbaug. However, no final decision has been made about this.”
Earlier, the PMC had revised the plan for the food plaza at Chowpatty in Pune’s Saras Baug area –Â
As per further information, food alleys, public gathering spaces, ongoing landscaping projects by trade associations, and exhibitions of diverse artistic creations will be a part of the revised plan. A tender will soon be released for the same. The PMC has also given business licenses to 53 individuals in the Sarasbaug area. It is worthy to note that the encroachment department of the PMC closed 53 stalls here on May 14, 2022, for breaking the rules.
Following this, a resolution was required. Following a meeting with the officials, the PMC Commissioner decided to create a food plaza at Sarasbaug Chowpatty to deter encroachment and to make things easier for visitors.
