The residents of Keshav Nagar are fuming and expressing frustration due to the lack of access to adequate water supply and civic infrastructure. Keshav Nagar was incorporated under the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) limits in 2017, and even after seven years, the water woes remain the same.
The residents have questioned the collection of property tax by the PMC as they are not able to provide basic amenities.
Sudhir Shrivastav, Director of the Keshav Nagar Welfare Association, said, "Despite paying heavy property taxes to PMC, the societies in Keshav Nagar are forced to pay ₹75-80 lakhs to tankers. The tanker mafias are gaining hold, but we don't have a choice as the civic body is failing to provide the basic amenities like drinking water."
