SUMMARY REPORT (PFR) Pune Ring Road Project (Eastern Alignment) SUMMARY REPORT (PFR) FOR Pune Ring road Project (Eastern Alignment) SUBMITTED BY MAHARASHTRA STATE ROAD DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION LIMITED (A Govt. of Maharashtra Undertaking) JULY 2016 MSRDC 1 1. Executive Summary 1.1 Preamble: Pune is the ninth-most populous city in India and the second largest in the state of Maharashtra after the state capital city of Mumbai. Pune is also the 101st largest city in the world, by population. Situated about 560 metres above sea level on the Deccan plateau, on the right bank of the Mutha river. Pune city is the administrative headquarters of Pune district. The traffic around Pune city has been increasing at high rate due to industrial and other socio-economic development, thus necessitating capacity augmentation of the existing radial routes emanating from the city. Besides, through traffic, i.e. traffic originating outside Pune and destined outside Pune, is passing through Pune City thus overloading the intra city network and creating traffic congestion. Therefore, to decongest the city of Pune it is essential to create a road network for through traffic which can circumvent the city limit and pass hassle free. With this objective Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has conceived to build a circular road around Pune City – Pune Ring Road. Based on various alternative alignment option study, the proposed project road shall lie Urse (18°42'43.06"N, 73°39'1.28"E) with a junction with Mumbai-Pune Expressway (km 84), and shall meet NH-4 (km818+200) at Khed Shivapur (18°19'22.35"N, 73°51'21.57"E) before Toll Plaza via Sortapwadi (on NH-50). 1.2 Project Description: The eastern part of Pune Ring Road was conceived to be built in following three parts/segments: Part I (Appx. Length 40.98 Km) : Sortapwadi (NH-9)-Kuruli (NH-50) Part II (Appx. Length 25.98 Km): Kuruli (NH-50) to Urse (Mumbai-Pune Expressway) Part III (Appx. Length 34.15 Km): Khed Shivapur (NH-4) to Kanifnath – Sortapwadi (NH-9) However based on the approved alignment corridor and expected traffic homogeneity the proposed road has four following quadrants as given below in Table 1. Table 1: Pune Ring Road Alignment Sections Quadrant Road Section Design Chainage Length (km) From To Q1 Mumbai-Pune Expressway to Nashik road (NH-50) 0+000 25+100 25.1 Q2 Nashik road (NH-50) to Nagar road (SH) 25+100 47+500 22.4 Q3 Nagar road (SH) to Solapur road (NH-9) 47+500 67+090 19.59 Q4 Solapur road (NH-9) to Satara road (NH-4) 67+090 101+460 34.37 Total 101.46 The project road is proposed to be of expressway standard having 6-lane with paved shoulder with provision of future 8-laning. Hence the proposals are mostly in conformity with the provisions of MORT&H Expressway Guidelines 2010, published by IRC. MSRDC 2 It passes through 48 villages under 5 Talukas, viz. Maval, Khed, Haveli, Purander and Bhor. The estimated cost for the entire stretch of the project is Rs. 3652 Crores. Some parts of the alignment pass through the forest land and barren land. Wherever the forest land is involved, the clearance will be required from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), Government of India. 1.3 Importance of the Project: The traffic in and around Pune is increasing at high rate due to industrial and other socio economic development in and around Pune City. There are many arterial roads passing through Pune city. National Highway No. 4, 9 and 50 and some other important State Highways cross Pune city. As a result road radiating from city in all directions needs to be widened to 4 lane to 6 lane. However vehicles which are coming from one direction and proceeding to other direction passed through the Pune City, thereby creating traffic problems. Such passing traffic, if diverted through road network outside the city limits, it will solve/decongest traffic problem intra city. In absence of these peripheral connections, the load of external floating traffic is ever increasing on the intra city road network. To overcome this problem, an idea of Pune Ring Road is come forward. 1.4 Components of the project: The proposed Pune Ring Road, which is entirely a green field alignment, has multi-dimensional facets with respect to land use, physical features and road geometry. As decided by Client the project road shall be a 6-lane highway to be developed with expressway standard with provision of future 8-lane. Considering all these aspects the section-wise policy adopted for developing the ring road based on the initial investigations. Development of a highway essentially consists of two components, viz. Geometric and Structural. Geometric improvement deals with visible dimensions of roadway and is dictated by the traffic and economic considerations. Geometric design involves several design elements such as horizontal and vertical alignments, sight distance considerations, cross sectional elements, lateral and vertical clearances, intersection treatment, control of access, etc. The structural component deals with the pavement, embankment design and structure design aspects, i.e. the ability of the highway to adequately carry and support the vehicle / wheel loads over the design period. The development proposals for the proposed ring road include the provision for the following major items: Geometric Improvements and realignments Bypasses Pavement Road Junctions Bridges and Cross-Drainage Structures Safety and Special Problems and Road Appurtenances The road furniture, traffic safety features and other facilities included in the design are: MSRDC 3 Bus Bays Truck Lay byes Road Markings Traffic Signs Kilometre Stone Details 200m Stones and Boundary Stones Delineators and Object Markers Guard Post Crash Barrier The project will also increase transportation connectivity to NH-4 Highway, Mumbai Pune Expressway, Pune-Solapur Highway NH-9, Pune – Nashik Highway NH-50, Pune- Nagar Road. Along with this it is also proposed to have area development, real estate development, medical facilities, food courts, police stations, public toilets, petrol pumps. Other planned activities include construction of intersections/junctions, culverts and drainage works, toll plazas and ancillary structures, temporary access, diversion roads and site location for Wet Mix Macadam Plant (WMM plant) and other road construction related plants and establishments. The offsite work includes, quarrying from nearby quarry sites, labour camps, material storage yard, earth from nearby burrow area and dumping of construction spoils at dumping sites. MSRDC 4 .

  • Variability in Summer Monsoon Rainfall Over Pune, a Leeward Side
    Vayu Mandal (41) 2015 Variability in Summer Monsoon J.V. Revadekar, Hamza Varikoden and V.V. Sapre Rainfall over Pune, a Leeward Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology, Pune Side Station of Western Ghats Email: [email protected] in India ABSTRACT The summer monsoon (June through September) accounts for 80% of the annual rainfall over India. It exhibits large variability in different space and time scales. Present study attempts analysis on variability in summer monsoon rainfall over Pune a lee side station of Western Ghats of India using data for the period 1901-2012. Rainfall anomalies over Pune examined during El Nino and La Nina years and their intensities show below (above) normal rainfall during El Nino (La Nina) years. Further magnitude of the rainfall anomalies decreases from strong to weak intensities of Nino events. Strong positive relation is found between rainfall and zonal and meridional components of wind at 850hPa over southern part of India and the Arabian Sea, whereas negative relationship is found over northwest India (correlation coefficient is significant at 5% level). It indicates that cyclonic circulation over the north Arabian Sea favours rainfall activities over Pune. During flood years, similar features are observed with strong cyclonic circulation at 850 hPa over the north Arabian Sea. Droughts are associated with weakening of westerlies over Pune. Key Words: Summer Monsoon, El Nino, La Nina. 1. Introduction from the west coast, rainfall increases along the Indian summer monsoon (JJAS), which slopes of the Western Ghats and rapidly decreases dominates over most parts of the country is of on the eastern leeward side.

The secretariat has received a request for clarification from Peru concerning the applicability of the Model Regulations to the transport of dangerous goods in road tank- vehicles. 2. In the context of the Model Regulations road tank-vehicles fall within the definition of “tank” and are specifically excluded from the definition of “portable tank”. 3. However, the provisions and requirements relating to the use, design, construction, inspection and testing of tanks (Chapters 4.2 and 6.7), as well as the instructions and special provisions listed in columns 10 and 11 of the Dangerous Goods List, only refer to “portable tanks”. 4. Since road tank-vehicles are excluded from the definition of portable tanks, Peruvian competent authorities initially understood that these provisions did not apply to road tank- vehicles and therefore concluded that the Model Regulations could not be used as the basis for the national legislation on the transport of dangerous goods by road. 1 In accordance with the programme of work of the Sub-Committee for 2011-2012 approved by the Committee at its fifth session (refer to ST/SG/AC.10/C.3/76, para.

    ISSN(Online): 2319-8753 ISSN (Print): 2347-6710 International Journal of Innovative Research in Science, Engineering and Technology (A High Impact Factor & UGC Approved Journal) Website: www.ijirset.com Vol. 6, Issue 9, September 2017 Design and Fabrication of Dropship Rover Marine and Terrestrial (DRMAT) Vehicle E N Vihari1, K Subhash2 B. Tech. Student, Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering, GITAM University, Hyderabad, Telangana State, India1 B. Tech. Student, Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, GITAM University, Hyderabad, Telangana State, India 2 ABSTRACT: Drones have long been described as optimally suited to perform the “3-D” missions, often described as dirty, dull, and dangerous. They can provide needed aerial data in areas considered too hazardous for people on the ground or for manned aircraft operation, such as sites with nuclear radiation contamination or in close proximity to wildfires. Drones can also deliver needed supplies and relay Wi-Fi and cellular phone service when communications are needed the most.This paper will discuss how drones and the aerial data they collect can be used before, during, and after a disaster. It includes an overview of potential solutions and deployment models, as well as, recommendations on removing regulatory barriers to their use. This research propounds why the proposed model: DRMAT is the simple and clear answer to many technological, environmental and public issues, as this is easily modifiable and made compatible to new software and hardware changes. This paper describes how we could stay up to date with latest technology while saving costs, decreasing investments and fighting the need for completely changing the base structure of drop ship rovers.

    South Asian Studies A Research Journal of South Asian Studies Vol. 28, No. 1, January – June 2013, pp. 25-37 The Mumbai Terror ‘2008’ and its Impact on the Indo- Pak Relations Umbreen Javaid University of Punjab, Lahore Marium Kamal University of the Punjab, Lahore ABSTRACT Mumbai is an easily accessible Indian city through the Arabian Sea from Pakistan. The city is also considered as the hub of large number of executives and foreign tourists. The daybreak of 27th November 2008 observed a chaotic condition in south Mumbai due to the deadly serialized attacks which claimed many lives and hundreds of injuries. The night witnessed an assault on the top community and foreigners. The lethal attack hindered the peace process between India and Pakistan and damaged all efforts that were being made in order to achieve harmonized relations between both states. The Indian authorities raised voice against the terror intentions of Pakistan and symbolized her as the epicenter of terrorism. India blamed Lashkar-e-Tayba for targeting the Indian nationals. The violent approach created trust deficit between the two states which considered as the most serious ongoing problem that confronts Indo-Pak relations. KEY WORDS: Mumbai attack, ‘26/11’, terror, India, Pakistan, relations The Indo-Pak Relations Dents (1947 to 2008) Since the repercussion of independence ‘1947’, the Indo-Pak relations have been passing through tense and bumpy rides. The new states initiated with intense migration and human bloodbath, boundaries and water disputes, religious minorities problems, and the most wounding of them all the accession of Jammu and Kashmir to the Indian Union are direct consequence of independence.
