The standing committee of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has approved the erection of entrance gates at key entry points to Pune, Maharashtra, India. Shrinath Bhimale, the standing committee chairman, emphasized the historical significance of Pune as the second largest city in the state. The gates will be installed along major roads including the Pune-Mumbai Expressway, Solapur Road, Bengaluru Highway, and Ahmednagar Road. This project, which has been under discussion for several years, aims to enhance the city's appeal to commuters and visitors. The PMC will need to coordinate with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to execute the project since most entry points are along national highways.
