PIL challenges Pune high-rise construction rules amid infrastructure strain

A public interest litigation has been filed challenging the rules that permit unchecked high-rise construction in Pune. The PIL argues that the city's infrastructure is unable to support the pace of vertical development currently underway.

The petitioner contends that existing regulations allow developers to construct high-rises without adequate safeguards for civic amenities, traffic management, and utility services. The litigation seeks stricter guidelines on residential and commercial tower construction.
