Overview

• Sule’s letter calls for an authority covering Rajiv Gandhi IT Park, Hinjewadi, Maan, Marunji and surrounding areas with a designated competent officer
• She cited significant delays in addressing public grievances as residents navigate multiple agencies including MIDC, PMC, PCMC, PMRDA, MSEDCL and the police
• Local roads and drains have repeatedly flooded during heavy rains, while traffic congestion and garbage accumulation have intensified commuter hardship
• The PMRDA’s Hinjewadi–Shivajinagar Metro project is intended to ease daily travel but has obstructed storm drains and exacerbated waterlogging
• An independent body would centralize decision making and coordinate maintenance and project work to streamline grievance redressal and infrastructure upgrades
