I stay at Shefalika Heights on Paud Road, Shivthrith nagar, This is a problem with these stray dogs, I have seen the number of these dogs rising by month near my society and they are irritating as they keep barking in the night. 
Other problem is they stay in a group so this could be a problem to kids and even adults as they could attack anyone anytime!
Can any one suggest something to curb the increase or should I say the existence of the stay dogs.

Two-wheeler riders drive on this road always under the fear of slipping and falling. Ladies and kids who normally go on two wheelers are in danger of hurting / breaking their limbs should they fall.

Last year, the road was made partially from "Shroff House" to "Supreme Palacio" housing society.

             As the exams of 10th and 12th std exams are round the corner I would like to share a piece of information which will definitely help the students to cope up with their exam fear and will boost in them the willingness to learn and score in their exams.I know of one centre at Pune named as Buzan who have launched a unique technique of mindmapping and is the only authorised centre of India. Mindmapping is a simple but powerful technique which captures information and kee</description></item><item><title>Are we really prepared for the BRTS ?</title><link>http://www.punecorporation.org/betterroads/Blogs/ShowBlog.aspx?ArticleID=193</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.punecorporation.org/betterroads/Blogs/ShowBlog.aspx?ArticleID=193</guid><description>Its quite some time now that we are talking and reading about the exclusive bus routes allocated / reserved through the center of the artery roads of pune. Satara road, hadapsar road to start with......and sinhagad road &amp; a couple of other roads to follow with.
Today we have this model implemented, and we, as users of the new system surely have a voice to comment on the systems insignificance specific to our own Pune city!

But from now on , i am going to do it.
The road from Wakdewadi to Harris Bridge has been so badly dug that there is so much problem while travelling. Also diversion is so horrible that it creates a whole lot of confusion.. How much time it will take?
Are there ways of tackling the way in a better way. Can the road digging process taken in a phase manner or not???

A small example a small small patch of road on sinhagad road from Manikbaug to Vadgaon phata.
There is huge dust and sand around,It is good that it will become a concrete road ,fine ,good.But it it is a big work and it will take a long time.Accepted but At least pmc can clean the the road and give us a relief from dust.

Are we caught in between PMC and PCB wars?  The road connecting the army area going to new developments such as Amar Ambiance, Clover Belvedere, Sopan Baug, Empress Garden View Society, etc. etc. has been in a terrible state for 2 long years.  The contractor who made the road never did any proper ground work and just put tar over mud.  The entire stretch of about a km is in terrible shape and getting worse day by day.

I’ll tell you – it’s a lovely place called “Girinagar”. 
Pune has changed – for the worse. The pleasant, salubrious, tranquil, stress-free, easygoing, cozy, affable Pune I once lived in no longer exists. Every nook and corner of Pune has suffered the ravages of “modernization” – except one place – Girinagar.
With the mighty Sinhagad Fort towering as a Sentinel, Girinagar is a fascinating pla</description></item><item><title>Maharshi Karve</title><link>http://www.punecorporation.org/betterroads/Blogs/ShowBlog.aspx?ArticleID=175</link><guid isPermaLink="false">http://www.punecorporation.org/betterroads/Blogs/ShowBlog.aspx?ArticleID=175</guid><description>On the evening of the 4th of July 2008 I had the good fortune of attending the concluding ceremony of the 150th Birth Anniversary of Maharshi Karve [18th  April 1858 – 9th  November 1962] graced by the august presence of the President of India and eminent dignitaries.

vehicles from the NCL road would merge with the baner road and governors residence road vehicles headed towards Shivaji Nagar.
