India, Aug. 11 -- Pune municipal commissioner Naval Kishore Ram has directed officials to open the Kharadi-Keshav Nagar bridge to traffic by August 15, amid the civic body stepping up work on key infrastructure projects across the city.

Ram inspected the Kharadi-Keshav Nagar bridge, North main road and Hadapsar railway station road on Monday and directed officials to remove bottlenecks and speed up pending works.

During the inspection of the North main road stretch from ABC farm chowk to Tadigutta chowk, Ram directed officials to immediately shift utility lines obstructing road widening. He also ordered that the remaining land acquisition process be started without delay so that the widening work can be completed at the earliest.
