2% of PMC/PCMC Budget for PMPML" Compliments for Decision: Now scrap VAT on purchase of diesel !

To,
Hon Shri Ajitdada Pawar,
Dy CM, Maharashtra State
Dear Sir,
Wexe were consistently following OMC/PCMC to make budget provision for PMPML of Rs 150 cr & Rs 100 cr respectively.
Thanks for responding positively.
The funds should be made available to PMPML for strengthening Bus Services. This should not be in the form of Loan of any sort.
The diesel hike Rs 12 has given severe blow to PMPML. We request State Govt should also come forward in support of only public transport for 55lakhs citizens of Pune & Pimpri Chinchwad.
We strongly demand that The State Govt should waive VAT on purchase of diesel by PMPML.
Awaiting positive response,

Save Our Hills


CONGRATULATIONS, PUNE

We Punekars have managed to Save Our Hills. A long drawn out battle to preserve the Bio Diversity Park has been won..

This is a result of the proactive stance we Punekars took and the efforts we made to make our voice heard. We all convinced the powers that be that the green cover that our hills provide is crucial for the survival of our Pune as we know it now..

The green hills will ensure that Pune's environment will not degrade and degenerate as other cities' have done..

But let us not rest on winning just this one battle.. There are many more miles to go:

  • Save our River .
  • Effective Public Transportation.
  • Equitable and Potable Water Supply.
  • Safe Roads for Pedestrians, Cycles and Vehicles.
  • A Clean City in all ways.
  • A Transparent & Accountable Governance.
  • And many more..

So let us vow to work together to Improve the Quality of Our Lives..

And our credo is

I AM PROUD TO BE A PUNEKAR.....

AND I WILL MAKE MY PUNE A CITY TO BE PROUD OF!
