A confrontation erupted between Rohini Chimate, a sitting corporator, and Rajshree Kale, a former corporator of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), at the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) headquarters over a women's hostel project in Baner. The project, which is intended to provide residential facilities for women from the Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe communities, is reportedly 80% complete. A new tender worth ₹3 crore has been issued for the remaining work. The argument intensified during a meeting called by the PMC's building department, leading to intervention by security personnel. Chimate criticized the contractor for not prioritizing the construction of the compound wall, while Kale accused the team of deliberately delaying the project, emphasizing its importance for the targeted communities. Tensions surrounding the project have been ongoing, with previous disputes involving Kale and other political figures.
