NCP (SP) MLA bats for smooth traffic on Nagar & Alandi roads
In the question hour session, the MLA raised the issue of traffic snarls, particularly on Nagar Road, during peak hours. "The area is close to the airport. Commuters face daily hardships because of traffic congestion, which worsens because of diversions whenever there is VIP movement. There is urgent need for the state govt to intervene and resolve the issue," he said.
In Aug 2024, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had sanctioned Rs97 crore to construct an underpass and flyover on Nagar Road.
Pathare said, "There has been no progress on ground. I urge the govt to direct PMC to expedite the process."

Speaking about the traffic congestion on Alandi Road, which falls in his Wadgaon Sheri constituency, the MLA demanded removal of the BRTS corridor. He cited the example of Nagar Road, where the BRTS lane was removed to provide more space for smooth vehicle movement.
"The BRTS project in Pune is defunct and the civic administration has cleared all corridors, except the one on Alandi Road. There is no point keeping it. The state govt should instruct PMC to clear the road like they dismantled the BRTS lanes on Nagar Road," Pathare said in the assembly.

NCP will strengthen its base in Nashik city, says party's state chief Tatkare
Nashik: Sunil Tatkare, the state president of NCP, announced on Saturday that the party plans to increase its representation in the Nashik Municipal Corporation during the upcoming local elections, despite enjoying significant support from rural areas in the district. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Tatkare held discussions in Nashik with party functionaries, workers, and politicians from both rural and urban regions. He evaluated the party's current status, addressed the demands of party workers, and outlined the necessary steps for the elections. "There are demands from the party workers for better representation in the city. We have, therefore, decided to increase the party base in the city. Food and civil supplies minister , who has been representing the sentiments of the people from Nashik city and the district, will also increase his involvement in Nashik city. He will meet our old friends working at various levels to build a proper base for the party," Tatkare said. Regarding contesting the elections as Mahayuti, Tatkare said, "After the Vidhan Sabha elections in 2014, when we were watching the results at Silver Oak, Prafull Patel and I discussed and suggested we join the NDA at once. This was discussed on several occasions — in 2014, 2017, 2019, and 2022 — but the matter got delayed due to some issues. Without compromising on our ideology, we have joined NDA, and we are part of it. " He added, "There are demands from a few quarters about contesting the elections as independents. The seniors of the three Mahayuti parties will, however, take the final call in some individual cases, while generally, we will be contesting as Mahayuti." When questioned whether NCP workers were concerned about Shiv Sena and BJP city units attracting members and workers from other parties, Tatkare said, "Every party has the right to grow and, hence, they are doing their job. As far as NCP goes, we are also strengthening our base."
