Pune Cantonment Board can't repair potholes due to finances

The Pune Cantonment Board (PCB) is unable to repair potholes due to a significant cash shortage. The board faces an ₹800 crore deficit since the discontinuation of the Local Body Tax in 2017, impacting road maintenance. Chronic potholes in areas like Golibar Maidan and East Street have raised safety concerns for motorists and pedestrians. Residents report that only roads used by officials have been temporarily repaired, leaving many internal roads in poor condition. PCB CEO Subrat Pal acknowledged the financial challenges but stated the board is working to improve road conditions. Residents continue to express frustration over the lack of repairs and the board's inability to address their concerns.
