Who is Responsible for Pune’s Crumbling Infrastructure?
By Angelina Peters, Minority Sanghatan Mantri, Aam Aadmi Party
The city of Pune, once admired for its heritage, innovation, and vibrant culture, is now collapsing under the weight of administrative failure and blatant neglect. As citizens struggle through flooded roads, pothole-riddled lanes, broken footpaths, and dangerously hanging electric cables, one question echoes through every home, every office, and every slum: Who is responsible?
The video shared on social media https://www.instagram.com/p/DLctpWPyGQW/?igsh=MTB0YW5uYnlxbGMzNg=. See here is not an isolated incident—it is a daily reality for lakhs of Punekars. Basic civic infrastructure, which is every Indian’s right, is now a luxury available only to a few privileged localities. The rest of the city? Left to fend for itself.
Despite collecting thousands of crores in taxes—be it through GST, property tax, road tax, or development charges—what do citizens get in return?
Roads that resemble war zones more than city streets
Drainage systems that collapse at the first sign of monsoon
Construction debris dumped shamelessly across public spaces
No accountability from corporators or the ruling party officials
What’s even more concerning is the silence. Not one ruling party leader has stepped forward to own the failure, to offer a plan, or to apologize to the people.
The Aam Aadmi Party demands answers:
Where has the taxpayer’s money gone?
Who is being held accountable for this mess?
Why has no audit been done of PMC's spending on infrastructure?
Why are roads relaid every year, yet never fixed?
Why are contractors and politicians not being punished for substandard work?
We are not here to play politics—we are here to demand justice, transparency, and infrastructure with integrity.
As Minority Sanghatan Mantri of the Aam Aadmi Party, I stand with every citizen who has suffered in silence. Our voices will no longer be ignored. The time has come to hold the system accountable and give Pune the governance it deserves.
Let’s raise our voices.
Let’s demand accountability.
Let’s rebuild Pune—not with excuses, but with action.
