Anne Anish on Instagram: "“Central Government funded” — that’s what the Tree Officer claimed. But the facts say otherwise. 📊 This is a 50:50 joint project between the Government of India & Government of Maharashtra — not purely central funding. 💰 In reality, over 70% (almost 80%) of the project is funded through debt — including international loans (EIB & AFD) and other liabilities. And here’s what they don’t tell you 👇 💸 The cost of this debt will be borne by the project — which ultimately means the citizens of Pune. That, dear citizens, is why public transport like PMPML keeps getting expensive, while affordable mobility remains out of reach. When decisions lack transparency, people pay — not the decision-makers. 🌳⚠️ Development shouldn’t come at the cost of truth and accountability. #PuneMetro #SaveTreesPune #Pune #TransparencyMatters #UrbanDevelopment PublicTransport ClimateAction Accountability ChaloPMC"
