Growing unease surrounds the proposed monorail project set to impact Late Tatyasaheb Thorat Udyan in Kothrud, Pune. In response, the Late Tatyasaheb Thorat Udyan Monorail Hatao Kruti Samiti has organized a crucial meeting scheduled for Saturday, March 2, calling on citizens to join in protest against the potential threat to the city’s significant garden. The gathering is set to take place at 8 am at Thorat Udyan in Kothrud.
The Samiti, spearheading opposition to the monorail’s installation within the popular Thorat Udyan, has garnered support from Kothrud residents and frequent visitors. Forming an action committee, these concerned individuals aim to convey their objections to various city representatives and political figures.
The proposed monorail project outlines the installation of 70 pillars within the park, raising concerns about potential tree removal and the infringement upon essential walking spaces, particularly for seniors. The action committee underscores the imminent challenges for regular park visitors should the monorail project proceed as planned.
Prioritizing environmental conservation and ensuring public park accessibility, the action committee is urging citizens to actively participate in large numbers. Attendees are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the stance of public representatives on the monorail project and question its imposition despite local opposition.
The Saturday meeting serves as a crucial platform for residents to voice their concerns, seek clarity on the future of Thorat Udyan, and collectively address the ongoing debate surrounding the monorail project.
