Pune: The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has started the process of reviving the long-pending High Capacity Mass Transit Route (HCMTR) project in the city by inviting bids to appoint consultants for technical work and land acquisition, officials said on Tuesday.
The move follows Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis' direction to expedite the ambitious transport project, which has remained on the drawing board for more than a decade due to land acquisition hurdles, environmental issues and changes in the city's transport infrastructure.
