Pankaj Deore appointed as CMD of Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Ltd
Before being posted as PMPML chief, Deore was the chairman of the District Caste Validity Committee in Latur. Meanwhile, Munde has been posted as Commissioner, Social Welfare, Pune.
Munde was appointed as the chief of PMPML in July 2024, but was transferred before completing the standard three-year tenure.
Before Munde, Sachindra Pratap Singh was appointed as PMPML CMD, and was similarly transferred just three months after his appointment in October 2023.
PMPML has been in a dire state for the past many years. The Indian Express reported in April this year that Pune needs 4,000 to 6,000 buses according to various studies, but has only 2,000 buses since at least 2021.
An Institute for Transportation and Development Policy study highlighted that Pune requires 4,500 buses, while a Comprehensive Mobility Plan developed by the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha Metro) stated that the city needs over 6,000 buses.
However, the actual numbers are much lower. In April 2022, the fleet number stood at 1,959, in February 2023, at 2,083, in February 2024 at 2,009, and in February 2025 at 1,916.
In addition to this change, other officers were also transferred in the city.
Trigun Kulkarni was posted as the Deputy Director General of YASHADA, Satishkumar Khadake was appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Slum Rehabilitation Authority, Dnyaneshwar Khilari was appointed as the Additional Settlement Commissioner and Additional Director of Land Records, and Mahesh Patil was appointed as the Commissioner of the Tribal Research and Training Institute.
Similarly, Manjiri Manolkar is now the Managing Director, Maharashtra State Farming Corporation, Sonali Mule is the Director (OBC) at Bahujan Welfare, and Gajendra Bawne has been posted as Commissioner, Ground Survey Development Agency.

62km of safer, wider footpaths for city
Chennai: In a step toward making Chennai pedestrian-friendly, Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority has identified a 62-km network across seven clusters for footpath widening and upgrades under its 25-year Comprehensive Mobility Plan. The clusters include Nandambakkam, Ambattur, Choolaimedu, Ashok Nagar, Arumbakkam, Vyasarpadi, and Villivakkam with 15km each earmarked in Ashok Nagar and Vyasarpadi. The clusters were selected based on three criteria: proximity to schools and hospitals, access to public transport such as buses, metro and suburban trains, and high pedestrian accident rates. The objective is to enhance safety and ensure uninterrupted walkability across dense urban pockets. Currently, most footpaths in these areas are just 1.2m wide and poorly maintained. The new designs will widen them to 1.8m, allowing two-way pedestrian movement and wheelchair access. For future arterial road upgrades, such as along GST Road, Cumta plans footpaths up to 2.5m wide, integrating canopies. Greater Chennai Corporation has completed preliminary estimates for 17km of the total 62km. These plans include provisions for hand railings, granite pavements, and cut stone kerbs, said Thirumurugan N, superintending engineer (bus route roads). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like LG, KT, SK 모든 통신사 개통당일 현금 100만원 당일 지급! 똑똑하게 돌려받자! 인싸통 더 알아보기 Undo Surveys of 23 roads across nine zones have been completed, and spot verification will begin soon, taking monsoon conditions into account.

Street vendors will be relocated to officially designated vending zones under Tamil Nadu Street Vendors (Protection of Livelihood and Regulation of Street Vending) Act, 2014, she added. To safeguard the upgraded infrastructure and prevent encroachments, Cumta has proposed forming an operations and maintenance committee to monitor and ensure the long-term integrity of footpaths. The 62-km upgrade is set to be done by next year. Get the latest lifestyle updates on Times of India, along with Doctor's Day 2025 , messages and quotes!

Provide doorstep veterinary services at tehsil level, Munde tells officials
1 2 Amravati: As more and more farmers are turning to animal husbandry due to govt's efforts, official concerned must ensure proper care of animals' health, said Pankaja Munde , Maharashtra minister for animal husbandry, environment, and climate change, during a review meeting of the animal husbandry department. She directed that doorstep veterinary services should be provided, especially at the tehsil level. She emphasized that districts should have proper laboratories and veterinary hospitals. Goshalas (cow shelters) should be equipped with quality facilities, fenced with barbed wire, and animals admitted there should receive proper treatment, she stressed. In a symbolic gesture, registration certificates were distributed to goshalas on the occasion. Under the indigenous cow nutrition scheme, over 3,000 cattle rearers have received financial assistance. Alongside, through the human development initiative, milch animals have been distributed and training provided. Officers were instructed to maintain records of the distributed animals and ensure they receive necessary assistance. "Fodder should be arranged for milch animals through the fodder development programme," the minister said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo "Under the MahaMesh Scheme, 217 beneficiaries have been assisted, and special attention must be paid to the implementation of this scheme," she stressed.
