Pune : Zebra crossing near Kalyani nagar metro station marked at wrong place

A zebra crossing near Kalyaninagar metro station is found to be marked between a footpath & a divider, signifying that the pedestrians crossing the road would have to jump on the divider.

As per further information from the X handle of user Swachh Pune “Do people have to jump and cross the road now? Who is this versatile contractor? Fix this Zebra Crossing right away!! Venue – Kalyaninagar Metro Station.”

To this, the PMC has responded through X “Sir/Madam, we have registered your complaint. Your complaint number is T47605. You can check the current status of your complaint here – complaint.pmc.gov.in Thank You.”

Just like the Kalyaninagar metro station, earlier in March, Qaneez Sukhrani, a Pune citizen activist, raised some concerns regarding the Pune Metro’s Ruby Hall to Ramwadi stretch prior to inauguration – 

Qaneez Sukhrani had raised these questions:

·         Does PM Narendra Modi know that the vicinity at and around these Metro station infra at Ramwadi & Yerawada is incomplete, full of debris, garbage, etc?

·         Does PM Narendra Modi know due to this, pedestrian safety is at risk if they have to undertake an obstacle-ridden path to embark / disembark for the lift, staircase, escalator of the stations subsequent to inauguration?

·         Does PM Narendra Modi know that his impeccable and unblemished track record is going to lend it’s name to a stretch which has multiple flaws, has encroached on City’s Development Plan of Nagar Road?

·         Does PM Narendra Modi know that these two sets of stations are going to be the cause of humongous traffic jams because Metro has set up the stations by grabbing space from the City’s Development Plan meant for vehicular movement and safe pedestrian pathways?
