Pune to compulsorily acquire land for Koregaon Park road widening

The Pune Municipal Corporation has decided to proceed with compulsory land acquisition to widen a road in the Koregaon Park area. The project aims to improve traffic flow and infrastructure in the locality.

Landowners affected by the acquisition plan have expressed strong opposition to the move. The residents argue that the forced acquisition violates their property rights and have raised concerns over compensation rates offered by the authorities.

The municipal body has cited public interest and urban development needs as the rationale for the widening project. The acquisition process is expected to proceed despite the landowners' resistance.
