History has been written today.

On 10 June 2026, Hon'ble Prime Minister Narendra Modi ji completes 4,399 consecutive days in office, surpassing the 4,398 days of India's first Prime Minister, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru ji, to become the longest continuously serving elected Prime Minister in the history of our Republic.

Pause for a moment and reflect on what this truly means.

India is not a nation in the ordinary sense. It is a civilisation of 1.4 billion souls. A land of 22 scheduled languages and hundreds of dialects; of many faiths, castes, communities and creeds; of countless regions and walks of life, living side by side. We are the world's largest democracy, with an electorate of nearly 98 crore, more than the people living in all of Europe. This makes ours perhaps the most complex electoral exercise across the globe.

And yet, out of these 1.4 billion people, the same leader has been entrusted with the nation: again, and again, and again. 2014. 2019. 2024. Three successive mandates from the people of India, each one a renewed act of faith.

To win the trust of so vast and diverse a nation even once is remarkable. To win it three times over, without a break, is extraordinary.

Consider, too, how different the two eras are. Pandit Nehru ji earned his mandate in the formative decades of the Republic, an age of one-party dominance in which the Congress towered over a young and fragmented opposition. Narendra Modi ji has earned his in a far more demanding democracy: the age of coalitions, of powerful regional forces and fierce multi-party competition. And he has met that challenge in full: winning absolute majorities in his own right in 2014 and 2019 (the first single-party majorities since 1984), and then forging and leading a victorious coalition in 2024. To command the trust of so fiercely contested a nation, mandate after mandate, is by any measure the harder achievement.

On this historic occasion, I bow to the wisdom of the Indian voter and salute the Hon'ble Prime Minister's tireless devotion to the nation.

May he be blessed with robust health and a long life, and may the people of Bharat grant him many more mandates in the service of our motherland.

🌁 The Mumbai–Pune Missing Link, yet another engineering marvel!

Just 3 days to go…
It will be dedicated to Maharashtra on 1st May, Maharashtra Day.

This project will reduce travel time between Mumbai and Pune by 25–30 minutes.

A series of outstanding infrastructure projects has become the identity of our Maharashtra.

To mark Maharashtra Day on May 1st, 2026, two awareness initiatives regarding Pune’s water issues will take place:

1. Sakli Uposhan (Chain Fasting): Organized by KHSWA in the Kharadi area.

2. Pune-wide local Community Walk/Run: A peaceful, decentralized event driven by local residents.

We believe that when citizens unite with a common goal, we can successfully secure our city's water resources.

🚨 THINK BEFORE YOU BUY A HOME 🚨

Your Home. Your Future. Our City.

Don’t buy a home today that creates a bigger water problem tomorrow.

⚠️ The Hidden Trap in Many New Projects

What builders tell PMC:

The builder gives an undertaking that PMC need not provide water to the project.

The builder claims he will arrange water through alternate sources at his own cost.

What actually happens in your Sale Deed:

The responsibility of arranging and paying for water is shifted to the Cooperative Housing Society and residents.

You end up paying for tanker water—year after year.

💧 The Reality You Face

Dependence on private tanker suppliers

Poor or contaminated water quality

Frequent shortages and irregular supply

Constantly rising costs—running into crores per year for societies

No accountability—builder exits after project completion

Long-term stress on health, finances, and peace of mind

❗ By Buying Such Homes, You Become Part of the Problem

You encourage this malpractice to continue

You increase the burden on yourself and your society

You normalize an unfair system where residents suffer and builders benefit

✅ Be the Change. Be Part of the Solution.

Say NO to projects that shift water responsibility to residents

Choose homes where the builder genuinely owns the commitment

Make informed decisions that support sustainable urban living

📝 Ask These Questions Before You Buy

Has the builder given an undertaking to PMC about water supply?

Who is responsible for water supply in the Sale Deed?

Will the cost of water be borne by the builder or residents?

What is the long-term source of water?

Can the society sustain recurring tanker expenses?

📢 Final Message

Your NO today can save CRORES tomorrow.
Don’t buy where water responsibility is passed on to you.

👉 Say NO. Stay Safe. Save More.

🤝 Let’s Build Responsible Communities

Responsible citizens create stronger, sustainable cities.
Think beyond possession—think about long-term impact.

Be a responsible buyer. Be part of the solution.

📅 01 May 2026 | ⏰ 9:30 AM onwards
📍 PMC Water Tank, Near Mount N Glory Society, Kharadi

✊ This is our collective voice. Let’s not stay silent.

🙏 Please join and encourage others from your society.

United we stand, together we bring change.

In a shocking violation of environmental laws, workers operating a Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) garbage collection vehicle were caught on camera dumping waste directly into the river.

The visuals, captured from a bridge, show men in reflective vests typically worn by civic staff systematically emptying bins over the railing and into the water. Ironically, the vehicle involved prominently displays "Swachh Survekshan" branding, mocking the very mission it is meant to uphold.

While the city administration spends crores on cleanliness awareness and river rejuvenation projects like the Mula-Mutha project, this video exposes a lack of oversight at the ground level.

@PMCPune @navalMH @MDNagpure No cleaning done on this road, despite heavy property tax collection. Sanctioned DP road of 30 M width is also not getting done here. Currently, the road is curvy and is a temporary arrangement by the builder to provide passage for residents.

Why PMC still not making a proper DP road here ?

Residents of societies Nyati Elysia and Riverdale Heights are directly affected by this inconvenience.

[Divya Gandotra Tandon @divya_gandotra]

This is not “random crime”… this is a planned distraction robbery model now active at traffic signals.

Two men.
One creates panic → “you hit me” drama.

Second targets your valuables while you’re distracted.

This happened in Pune, near a busy signal… imagine how many go unnoticed.

Let’s be clear:
❌ This is NOT petty theft
❌ This is organized street-level targeting of drivers

Basic precautions can save you:
> Windows UP at signals
> Doors LOCKED
> No phone/wallet on passenger seat
> Ignore provocation, it’s a trap

We seriously need dedicated police presence at major signals, especially in urban hotspots.

Otherwise, we’re just waiting for a viral video where someone isn’t this lucky.

Stay alert.
This is how it starts.

The ticket for this site has been marked "in-process" since March 14, 2026. However, as of March 23, 2026, garbage burning persists. It appears the PMC intends to eliminate this refuse pile by incineration, thereby contributing to air pollution, rather than through proper collection and site clearance.

The assigned officer for the ticket is not taking required action to lift this Garbage heap so far.

Look at amount of Air pollution in Keshav Nagar and Kharadi areas
besides Mula Mutha Riverbed.

!! COMPLETE SYSTEM FAILURE !!
!! PEOPLE HEALTH AT RISK !!

Incident in Dighi Housing Society Raises Safety Concerns; Residents Urged to Be Extra Careful While Using Lifts, Especially With Babies and Young Children

[Dinesh Angolkar @AngolkarDinesh]

@PMCPune @navalMH @MDNagpure @mohol_murlidhar @Dev_Fadnavis On the evening of March 11, 2026, a significant fire erupted due to the ignition of a garbage dump, leading to the contamination of the atmosphere in nearby areas with toxic smoke. This contamination persisted throughout the night of March 11 until 12:00 PM on March 12, 2025. A sanitary officer from Solid Waste Management visited the site, but only to extinguish the remaining embers of the fire. The garbage heap was not removed on the same day, resulting in its subsequent reignition today i.e 13th March, 2026 by an unknown individual. This cycle of burning will likely continue until the garbage heap is removed as a matter of priority. We request that a team be dispatched to remove this garbage heap and that measures be implemented to prevent the dumping of such waste anywhere within the city. Furthermore, we recommend that those responsible for dumping this garbage be subjected to substantial fines.

Location: Keshav Nagar side of Mula Mutha River, besides Godrej Infinity, Keshav Nagar, Pune.

This has been happening almost everyday near Kharadi IT park and riverside areas in Pune. People are choking with smoke while going out for morning walk, its is impacting our kids going school every morning, instead of breathing fresh air in our city, residents are facing this kind of situation regularly. @PMCPune @punekarnews @KhswaPune @SurendraPathare @Mlabapupathare

[Dinesh Angolkar @AngolkarDinesh]

Big Fire broke out today besides the Mula Mutha River on the Keshav Nagar side. Two fire brigades had to be called to control the fire but still it was difficult. The smoke spread rapidly across the Riverside road of Kharadi as well. Recently such burning incidents are on the rise in-spite of knowing such acts contribute to the already deteriorating Air quality of Pune.

[KHSWA, Pune @KhswaPune]

@PMCPune : Daily huge garbage burning is going on in Kharadi near WTC, EON & nearby Societies.
It goes throughout the day.
Is PMC going to survey and take stringent actions on the culprits ?
This is contributing to good amount of pollution in Kharadi, Pune.
Already we are doing bad on AQI & in that there is no monitoring seen by PMC
