India, May 19 -- The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has identified 136 old wadas and buildings across the city as dangerous, following its annual pre-monsoon structural survey conducted in April this year. Of these, 103 wadas have been marked as highly dangerous, and 77 of these structures are still occupied by residents.

These structures are predominantly located in Pune's peth areas, including Kasba, Shukrawar, Raviwar, Sadashiv, Navi, Shanivar, Narayan, Somwar, Mangalwar, Budhwar, Rasta, Bhawani, Ghorpade, Guruwar, Ganj, Nana, and Ganesh Peth. Most of these wadas are in a dilapidated state due to a lack of maintenance over decades that has left many in a state of disrepair.
