             From VTBKS we are shocked at the amount of misinformation spewed by PMC to mislead the public. The Supreme Court order explicitly says in Para 12 that the PMC Counsel, Shri Abhijit Kulkarni, assisting Shri Tushar Mehta, Solicitor General of India, said that the first project 
           This is shocking! The Supreme Court order on #BalbharatiRd clearly says in Point 12 that PMC Counsel Abhijeet Kulkarni and Solicter Gen of India, Tushar Mehta submitted that 'first project' (referring to HCMTR) had been abandoned by PMC 'in substitution for' BB road. Now PMC says

             Fresh blueprint of a stale old plot🙎🏻 PMC & minions are so aware of the place #VetalTekdi enjoys in the hearts & minds of Punekars that they avoid naming it altogether. But the tekdi isn't a mere brand with a recall. It is an emotion. By any name, many just love and live tekdi! 
           The PMC is back pushing #BBPPRoad, this time it appears there is a new "revised blueprint" in the offing, making this road the most researched road in history! The correct title for the news items should be "आयुक्तांनी बाल भारती पौड फाटा रस्त्याला ब्रेक लावला!" By the way,

             And while the SC has asked PMC to take an Environmental Clearance for BBPP Road, PMC seems to be looking for an escape route... underground! But this proposal has already brought opposition from an ex-Opposition Leader! For us we are indeed happy to see @SakalMediaNews get the

             I will admit this openly not too long ago, I was one of those who thought protests against every new infrastructure project were just ugichach resistance by the “environmentalists” type. Pune, I believed, needed stronger infrastructure to match its growing population….People 
           Folks like @KelkarSharad and @godbole_shilpa are great examples of openness and honest inquiry. That afforded them a switch from assumption-based PoV to a well-informed position. Many have realised that #BBPP road is "a clever scheme to burn public money to hack public commons"

              @VTBKS_Pune @KelkarSharad Amazing (lack of) logic behind Balbharati Paudphata road! So compelling that only the dumb or the lazy will not see how Tekdi road be a clever scheme that would burn public money, hack public commons and serve petty private interests. The sensible can never ask for this road.

             Meanwhile, Vetal Tekdi waits and wonders how & when will the disastrous BB-PP road project be scrapped? Pushed mainly to benefit the development around Survey No. 44, it’s a land deal that threatens to rip apart Pune’s green lungs & a vital part of its identity.

             Very well written post on Facebook, by @KelkarSharad. A few years ago, he used to support this project but he took the time and effort and after reading all the reports and documents independently concluded that #BBPPRoad is a disaster in making.
