Parisar conducted a performance review of Pune Municipal Corporation's (PMC) footpath grievance redress system in the months of February and March 2026, based on 302 complaints filed under the #MyWalkMyRight campaign across five wards of Pune via the:

• PMC Care App
• WhatsApp bot, and
• Twitter/X.

114 complaints reached full resolution, while 59 remained in the active "in-process" stage. This indicates that 173 complaints, or approximately 57% of the total volume, successfully entered the municipal administrative workflow, leaving a deficit of 129 complaints (43%) that are either awaiting initial processing, have been rejected, or are stuck.

Parisar has released a new report titled 'Gender Action Plan Framework for Pune', authored by Tanzeel Allapur, examining the safety, accessibility, and everyday experiences of women using public bus services operated by Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML).

The study draws on a survey of 540 women commuters, focus group discussions with women from service-sector backgrounds, and bus stop infrastructure audits at seven locations in Hadapsar. The findings show that while buses remain an essential and affordable mode of transport for many women, several systemic barriers, such as long waiting times, unsafe walking routes to bus stops, overcrowding, and limited staff intervention in harassment cases, continue to affect their mobility.

Fare-free public transport refers to a system where passengers can use buses and other public transit services without paying at any point of travel. The idea goes beyond simply removing fares, it reframes public transport as essential social infrastructure that guarantees access to movement, opportunity, and public life.

A common and important question that follows is: who pays for it and how does it make financial sense? This report addresses these concerns directly. Instead of relying on ticket revenue, the system is funded through public finance mechanisms such as government budgets, dedicated mobility funds, levies, or cross-subsidies. 

Parisar has released its Cycle Track Audit Report (2024–25), a comprehensive assessment of Pune’s cycling infrastructure at a time when the city is gaining global visibility through the Pune Cycle Grand Challenge.

The audit covered 35 km of cycle tracks across 19 roads, divided into 77 segments of 500 metres each. The findings reveal significant gaps in safety, comfort, and continuity, showing that Pune is still far from meeting the standards envisioned in its 2017 Comprehensive Bicycle Plan (CBP).
