Pune: Residents Of Handewadi Holkarwadi Call For Protest Over Lack Of Basic Amenities
Pune, April 27, 2026: Residents of Ward 41 Mohamadwadi Undri particularly from the neglected localities of Handewadi, Holkarwadi, and Autadewadi, have raised serious concerns over the continued lack of basic civic infrastructure despite being part of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC).
The protest is organised by Handewadi Societies Association.
Strategically located as a central link connecting Hadapsar, Saswad, and Katraj, the area has allegedly been consistently sidelined by authorities, leaving citizens deprived of essential services. Residents claim that even after inclusion under PMC limits, issues related to water supply, traffic congestion, and sewage management remain unresolved.
Locals allege that for the past several yearsspanning governance under the Gram Panchayat, administrative control, and now PMC they have struggled to secure their fundamental rights to basic amenities, facing repeated delays and inaction.
In response, citizens from various cooperative housing societies in the Handewadi area have come together to organize a public protest to draw the government’s attention and demand immediate action.
The protest is scheduled as follows:
Date: May 8, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM
Location: Handewadi Chowk
Residents have appealed to the community to unite under the banner of collective rights and raise their voice for long-overdue civic improvements.
