The drainage issues in Gultekdi Market Yard, Pune, remain unresolved weeks after joint site visits by Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and Agricultural Produce Market Committee (APMC) officials. Despite a plan finalized in April to lay new drainage lines, work has not yet begun, raising concerns as the monsoon season approaches in June. Traders at the market, which serves hundreds daily, have long complained about inadequate infrastructure, including poor sanitation and overflowing drains. These issues not only disrupt loading and unloading activities but also pose significant health risks, including the spread of mosquitoes. APMC director Santosh Nangare expressed disappointment over the delay, noting that while PMC is expected to sanction funds shortly, the timeline for starting the work remains unclear. In the meantime, PMC has been conducting regular cleaning of existing drainage lines, but traders argue that this is insufficient and are calling for a permanent solution to improve hygiene and operational efficiency in the market.
