Pune : PMC carries out renovation work at Bapusaheb Kedari Swimming Pool in Wanowrie 

The renovation & refurbishing work of Late Bapusaheb Kedari swimming pool in Wanowrie, which has been pending for a long time, has been started.

In a video, it can be seen that several materials for renovation, construction & refurbishment of the pool, along with workers, is there in the pool premises.

In the year 1995, PMC started the Late Bapusaheb Kedari Swimming Pool in Wanowrie for citizens. Citizens who come to swim say that the PMC has turned a blind eye towards the maintenance of the pool.

Cracked tiles, an old filter system installed for the pool and leaking room, chemical storage room, dilapidated light meter room, dangerous switchboard, baby pool, broken bathroom doors, tiles, showers, open shower room water supply, and the toilet are unusable due to broken pipes, rusted sheets in the adjacent toilet which has not been replaced in the past several years.

Swimmers using the facility have demanded that the PMC should resolve the issues and provide better facilities.

A Member of Rashtriya Life Saving Society, who had been managing the pool on a contractual basis, had said that the condition of the pool was very terrible. Everything had broken out, the suction machine, the pipes etc. It took 2 months to repair it & even they could do it only with adhesive agents like M-Seal etc. Intensive waterproofing needs to be done. Ceilings have fallen down. They hope the PMC works on the repairing part.
