Pune, August 26, 2025 – Residents of Undri-Mohammadwadi witnessed a surprise visit by Pune Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram on Tuesday, who, along with heads of key departments, reviewed civic problems in the area and assured swift redressal. He acknowledged that inadequate water supply remains the most pressing concern and directed officials to address it on priority.
Ram was accompanied by officials from the road, drainage, water supply, sanitation, waste management, and garden departments. The visit followed a recent memorandum submitted by the Mohammadwadi-Undri Residents Welfare Development Foundation (MURWDF), urging the commissioner to personally assess ground realities. MURWDF represents 40 housing societies from Mohamadwadi and Undri.
During the inspection, forum members highlighted several issues, including poor road conditions—particularly stretches from Nyati Estate to Country Club and Nyati Estate to DPS School—besides the need for proper management of overhead cables at Kad Nagar. They also raised concerns over drainage systems, lack of streetlights, installation of CCTV cameras for safety, and beautification of chronic spots. Alternate road is needed from Nyati Estate (DPS School) to Handewadi (Kondhwa Saswad road) according to the residents to reduce the stress on the main Mohamadwadi road.
On the water supply issue, Ram instructed Water Supply Department head Nandkumar Jagtap to expedite both short-term and long-term measures to ease the problem. He also directed officials to act promptly on road repairs, drainage improvement, and streetlight installation.
The residents further sought that an amenity space near Nyati Esteban be converted into a garden, to which Ram responded positively. Speaking about the visit, a representative of the Federation said, “This is a positive step towards resolving long-pending issues. We are hopeful that PMC will follow through with concrete action plans to elevate the standard of living in Mohamadwadi and Undri.”
