Shivajinagar MLA Siddharth Shirole tells FPJ that Pune's key projects are on track, with Metro operations set to begin by June 2026
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from Shivajinagar, Siddharth Shirole, has assured that several major civic projects in Pune, including the Metro expansion and road improvement works, are progressing steadily. In an exclusive conversation with The Free Press Journal (FPJ), he discussed ongoing infrastructure developments, public transport reforms, and plans for the city.
FPJ: Why was there a delay in the inauguration of the University Road flyover?
Shirole: There was a delay in land acquisition. Now, one part of the flyover has been opened, and the remaining part will be completed by the end of December and will be opened to the public soon. Projects might be delayed, but they are happening with the right execution, and the final result is also of great quality.
FPJ: What about the Shivajinagar to Hinjawadi Metro project?
Shirole: I am very sure that by the end of June 2026, the Shivajinagar to Hinjawadi Metro will be operational.
FPJ: What about the low-quality service of the PMPML? Any plan by the government?
