Citizens, environmentalists hold stir at Mula riverbed over RFD project
Hindustan Times Pune
|April 21, 2025
Around 25 citizens and environmentalists Sunday morning protested the ongoing riverfront development (RFD) project by sitting on the Mula riverbed near Pimple Nilakh.
PUNE: The protesters demanded that the project be paused immediately as it is harming the natural ecosystem while failing to address real issues like the cleanliness of water.
The protesters said that they are frustrated by the lack of response despite repeated appeals to the chief minister, senior political leaders, municipal commissioners and the district collector.
They warned that if the RFD project does not grind to a halt within a week's time, they will hold a stronger and larger protest at the same location on Sunday, April 27.
