Pune to compulsorily acquire land to expand Koregaon Park road

PMC has initiated compulsory land acquisition for widening North Main Road in Koregaon Park from 18 metres to 30 metres along a 1.65-kilometre stretch between Westin Hotel Chowk and Tadigutta Chowk. The corporation needs 3,040 square metres of land, with acquisition estimated to cost ₹21.4 crore. The project faces resistance from landowners citing unpaid compensation from earlier widening work.
