The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has initiated a significant improvement project in Pimple Saudagar’s Linear Garden, focusing on leveling the jogging track to enhance the overall experience for joggers and walkers. Laxmikant Kolhe, PCMC Civil Engineer, shared insights into the ongoing work, emphasizing the removal of uneven soil and the addition of fresh soil to create a smooth and even surface.
Kolhe stated, “The levelling work of the jogging track is underway. The previous uneven soil posed challenges for those jogging and walking. The old soil has been completely removed, the track has been leveled, and new soil is being added. Only the rolling and finishing work remains, after which people can easily use the jogging track without any hassle. While the work faced delays due to recent rainfall, it is expected to be completed within a week.”
Residents and regular joggers have welcomed the PCMC’s initiative, acknowledging the positive impact it will have on the community’s health and fitness activities. Roshan Pawar, a Rahatani resident, expressed gratitude for the renovation, citing improvements in track quality that would alleviate knee pains and injuries.
The initiative has also garnered support from individuals like Prashant Dhakane, a civic issue activist from Pimple Saudagar. Dhakane highlighted the importance of maintaining well-leveled jogging tracks to prevent injuries and ensure a safer fitness environment for the thousands who utilize Linear Garden for jogging and walking.
As the PCMC focuses on enhancing the quality of recreational spaces, residents anticipate the completion of the levelling work, which will contribute to a more enjoyable and injury-free experience for those engaging in physical activities at Linear Garden.
