MSRDC launches groundwork on western ring road in Pune

To start the construction work on the 68.8km long western ring road project in Pune, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has launched the groundwork and completed 94% of the land survey work. The road development agency has so far surveyed 655 hectares of the 695 hectares of land required for the project. MSRDC executive engineer Sandeep Patil informed that the village-wise drawings of the ring road are being prepared based on the land survey and drawings of the remaining 33 villages will be prepared soon. The valuation of the land will be done based on ready reckoner rates. Besides, the agency will also value properties included on the land, and farmers will get monetary compensation on each of their properties. As per the procedure, the MSRDC will sign a legal agreement with each farmer before disbursing compensation and the agency is going all out to complete all administrative work as quickly as possible. The western ring road will start from Urse toll plaza in Maval tehsil and then will pass through Mulshi, Haveli tehsils before connecting Mumbai-Bangalore highway at Bhor tehsil.
