‘Pune River Revival’ is a passionate team for the citizens’ movement to revive and rejuvenate Pune rivers. The team is led by passionate residents, activists and dedicated ecologists. Amid the ongoing Maharashtra Assembly elections, the team organised a meeting on Sunday at Vaghacha Ghat, Aundh, and released a people’s manifesto to highlight that they will vote for the candidate who will meet their demands. They want Pune to become a city of healthy rivers and zero-carbon water management.
Their manifesto announced some ambitious plans to transform Pune into a model for sustainable water management and river health. Prajakta Mahajan, a resident of Wakad said:
“We recognise that many people vote based on caste, religion, or economic status. However, regardless of your background—be it caste, religion, wealth, or poverty—we all share a need for clean air and water. Let’s make these essentials a priority in our city’s election manifesto. We pledge our votes to candidates who commit to safeguarding our rivers, trees and hills.”
