Report suggests it will help serve the escalating migrant population u00a0 Being an educational and IT hub, the city has become the most preferred destination for students and professionals from across the country. However, with the increasing population, several problems due to the derisory infrastructure have come to fore. A report prepared by the Population Research Centre of Gokhale Institute of Economics and Politics (GIPE), on the behest of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), highlighted several such problems that the city is presently facing. Dr Sanjeevanee Muley, who prepared the report, said, "The PMC has not learnt any lesson from Bangalore and Hyderabad, which had witnessed similar increase in migrant population 20 years ago." Muley even pointed out that the PMC hasn't done anything substantial to solve traffic woes. Poor condition "Besides, the condition of city roads and public transport is quite poor. This is one of the reasons why Pune doesn't have a Metro Rail until now," she lamented. Dr Muley said that after doing a thorough research they have prepared the report and have presented it to the PMC to prepare a final draft plan for the development of the city. Mahesh Zagade, city's municipal commissioner, when contacted, confirmed that he has received the report. "We are studying it and have also called for a report on environmental and economic factors pertaining to the city. Once we receive them, we'll draft a development plan for Pune."
