Amid rising opposition over the upcoming River Front Development (RFD) projects in Pune, MLC Amit Gorkhe joined the opposition by holding a placard as he entered Vidhan Bhavan on Wednesday, highlighting the call for an end to the concretisation and beautification of riverfronts and advocated for the purification of the Pavana, Mula, and Indrayani rivers in Pimpri Chinchwad area.
“The demand is to keep the rivers intact in their natural form. Conserving the Pavana, Mula and Indrayani rivers is essential as they cater to more than 30 lakh citizens in PCMC. Cutting down trees, destroying the habitat of animals and birds and creating a threat to the environment in the name of constructions and artificial beautification is unacceptable and must be stopped,” said Gorkhe.
“More than 500 social organisations in Pimpri Chinchwad city have come together and are protesting in the form of a human chain to stop the environmentally destructive RFD project. The priority is that tree felling must stop, and work towards cleaning the rivers first, saving the dying rivers, and preserving them in their natural order,” stated Gorkhe.
“The objection raised was to make the municipal administration aware that such concretisation will end the already dwindling biodiversity. Any further development must be stopped considering the natural state and flow of the rivers. I’ve raised this issue with the Chief Minister, and he has responded positively in taking action to conserve the ecological diversity,” he added.
