Nearly two-thirds of Pune's roads do not have footpaths, while 90% of the city's cycle tracks fail to meet quality standards, according to the Pune Municipal Corporation's Environment Status Report (ESR) 2025-26. The report highlights growing concerns over pedestrian safety, accessibility and the city's efforts to promote sustainable transport.
Out of Pune's 2,460.72 km road network, only 747 km have footpaths. The report also found that many women commuters face challenges such as missing footpaths, poor road conditions, safety concerns and inadequate street lighting while walking to bus stops. A review of 35 km of cycle tracks showed that most do not meet expected standards, although Baner Road, Fergusson College Road and Jangli Maharaj Road performed better than others. Deputy Municipal Commissioner Madhav Jagtap said the report has been sent to the Road Department for necessary action.

A citizen has raised concerns over a daily traffic hazard on North Main Road near the MNGL CNG station in Koregaon Park.
According to the complainant, around 40–50 autorickshaws allegedly queue on the wrong side of the road every morning around 9 AM to refuel, leading to traffic congestion and posing a safety risk for commuters.
The complainant claims that local traffic personnel cited the need for directions from higher authorities before action can be taken. A complaint has also reportedly been emailed to the Pune Police Commissioner.
Note: The photos and videos were shared by a citizen. Pune Times Mirror has not independently verified the claims or the authenticity of the footage. The authorities' response is awaited.

Vehicle milage will reduce.
Cost of production is higher than petrol
Some vehicle would corrode
Lot of Ethanol is being imported.
Then what is the benefit of E20 ? Why is this being pushed on all vehicle owners ?
वैसे अगर कच्चा तेल 135 होने पर पेट्रोल 125 का हो सकता था तो कच्चा तेल 90 होने पर पेट्रोल कितना का होना चाहिए? वो तो अब भी 105 है तो मतलब नुकसान की भरपाई तो चल ही रही है तो फिर एथनॉल का क्या फायदा हुआ?
Saving bank interest deserves an exemption up to a certain limit in the new regime.
Taxing it at normal slab rates, even when it's just idle money in a savings account, doesn't seem justified.
'Lawsuit filed by him also emphasises that the ethanol blending policy is being administered by the Petroleum Ministry."
He promoted ethanol blending so hard that Gadkari and ethanol basically became the same thing in people's minds. Now that the backlash has kicked in, he's trying to dodge it by dumping the responsibility on the Petroleum Ministry.
I really hope this massive L forces the @narendramodi govt to take public grievances and feedback seriously. Ministers may be incompetent or working for vested interests but buck stops at you only. To begin with, please consider changes in ethanol imposition and adhere to original deadlines for sake of middle class.
यही चूतियापा मेरी समझ से बाहर है! यह वही बात हुई कि मैंने एक मिनट में 50 थप्पड़ खा लिए, हिला भी नहीं, रिकॉर्ड बन गया है!
तुम्हारे सबसे बड़े नेता को तीन नल्लों ने रात के बारह बजे वीडियो बनाने पर विवश कर दिया और तुम उसके व्यू गिन रहे हो? यह कोई उपलब्धि नहीं है! यह एक संख्या है जिसका कोई विशेष अर्थ नहीं है।
ईश्वर इन मूर्खों को सद्बुद्धि दे! Genius has its limits, idiocy has none.
Those who made a hero of wangchuk for hunger strike, are today abusing him. Those who called him Chinese agent or son of congress politician etc are today applauding him.
It’s just a game of convenience folks. For everyone.
Pimpri-Chinchwad’s primary dam is full and July is not even done. Just two rain spells achieved this. Just two. Western Maharashtra is so blessed. Even a year with rain deficit goes with full dams. Blessed we are.
While everyone is talking about paper leak and asking resignation of education minister, Sachin tried to address the biggest issue no one is talking about, reservation. He talks about giving priority to merit.
Another proof that God doesn't discriminate based on caste.
