PMPML gets its 22nd chief in last 17 years

Beed collector Deepa Mudhol Munde has been appointed chairman and managing director of Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML). The state government had appointed Ashish Yerlekar to the post on July 1, but he failed to join. On Monday, the government canceled his appointment and announced Munde's name, who, as per an earlier order, was asked to join as Sangli collector.

Outgoing CMD Sanjay Kolte served only for eight months. Munde will serve as the 22nd CMD of the transport body. However, the frequent transfers of CMDs are being heavily criticised by residents and activists.

As per the recent breakdown data posted by the transport body on its website, the average daily breakdown figures in March was at 47.
