He urged the civic administration to ensure justice for the victims by fixing accountability and taking stringent legal action against those responsible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saundankar questioned why workers were allowed to continue working in the Waste-to-Energy plant building despite the<br>administration allegedly being aware of its unsafe condition. He demanded that the corporation explain the circumstances under which work continued in the hazardous structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He also sought the publication of a white paper detailing the bio-mining work carried out at the Moshi landfill. Despite crores of rupees being spent on solid waste management, the accumulation of massive garbage heaps and the occurrence of such a catastrophic incident reflected gross administrative negligence and failure, he alleged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Shiv Sena leader further demanded strict legal action against all officials and others found responsible for the tragedy. He said announcing financial compensation alone would not fulfil the government\u2019s responsibility, as the deceased workers were the sole breadwinners of their families.\u2002<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Saundankar urged the authorities to provide substantial financial assistance to the families of the deceased, bear the entire medical expenses of the injured workers, and offer permanent employment in the PCMC to one eligible member from each affected family. He asserted that the issue would not end until those responsible were punished and justice was delivered to the bereaved families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Moshi tragedy was not an accident but a consequence of administrative negligence. The guilty must face criminal prosecution, and justice must be delivered to every affected family.\u201d<br><strong>\u2014 Santosh Saundankar,<br>Shiv Sena Pune District Organiser<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u2002\u2002Pimpri : Shiv Sena Pune district organiser Santosh Saundankar has demanded that the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) release a white<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2310,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_container_layout":"default_layout","colormag_page_sidebar_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[56,64],"class_list":["post-2309","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-pimpri-chinchwad","tag-pcmc","tag-pune"],"magazineBlocksPostFeaturedMedia":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-150x150.jpg","medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-300x180.jpg","medium_large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-768x461.jpg","large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1.jpg","1536x1536":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1.jpg","2048x2048":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1.jpg","colormag-highlighted-post":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-392x272.jpg","colormag-featured-post-medium":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-390x205.jpg","colormag-featured-post-small":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-130x90.jpg","colormag-featured-image":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-800x445.jpg","colormag-default-news":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-150x150.jpg","colormag-featured-image-large":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1.jpg"},"magazineBlocksPostAuthor":{"name":"Editor","avatar":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g"},"magazineBlocksPostCommentsNumber":false,"magazineBlocksPostExcerpt":"\u2002\u2002Pimpri : Shiv Sena Pune district organiser Santosh Saundankar has demanded that the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) release a white","magazineBlocksPostCategories":["Pimpri Chinchwad"],"magazineBlocksPostViewCount":2,"magazineBlocksPostReadTime":2,"magazine_blocks_featured_image_url":{"full":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1.jpg",1000,600,false],"medium":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Saundankar-1-150x150.jpg",150,150,true]},"magazine_blocks_author":{"display_name":"Editor","author_link":"https:\/\/theleadernews.in\/?author=3"},"magazine_blocks_comment":0,"magazine_blocks_author_image":"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/1d5153bc4b578f38328e6ec4367b899f9035bc845d2933bfe4a714a364de8dbd?s=96&d=mm&r=g","magazine_blocks_category":"<a href=\"#\" class=\"category-link category-link-33\">Pimpri Chinchwad<\/a>","yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
