TIAA Global leased 2.5 lakh sq ft of office space at Panchshil Vantage in Wagholi from landlord P-One Infrastructure Private Limited for ₹320 crore over 10 years.

Team WACO (Wagholi Against Corruption Organisation) filed a writ petition in Bombay High Court challenging PMC's property tax collection in Wagholi, arguing residents should not pay taxes without basic infrastructure.

During a recent inspection, PMC Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram stated "Wagholi is the dirtiest part of the city." WACO president Anil Kumar Mishra said the group has organised four major protests over years demanding infrastructure improvements, but PMC has not addressed concerns about bad roads, inadequate water supply and non-existent drainage systems. Mishra stated they plan to present video evidence of the commissioner's statement in court.

Residents report paying property taxes while lacking roads, drainage systems and garbage disposal facilities. They demand PMC provide basic infrastructure before requiring tax payments.

Pune Municipal Corporation’s fire department sealed 11 paying guest hostels in Lohegaon and Nimbalkar Nagar on Friday for allegedly operating without mandatory fire-safety equipment. Inspections found three- and four-storey buildings housing more than 100 students each without firefighting systems. Operators could not produce property tax records, drainage and water no-objection certificates, fire NOCs, structural audit reports or building permissions.

The citywide inspection was ordered by Municipal Commissioner Naval Kishore Ram after recent fires in Delhi and other cities. The audit covers hospitals, hostels, study centres, coaching classes and libraries; high-rises and private companies will be inspected in later phases. The Fire Brigade must submit its report within 10 days. Establishments must undergo periodic fire audits and submit compliance B forms in January and July. The commissioner directed officials to register FIRs against unauthorised establishments and fire-safety violators. Colleges referring students to unsafe or unauthorised hostels may also face action, including criminal proceedings.

Pune has more than 25 universities and an estimated 3,500 registered and unregistered PG hostels and co-living facilities. The drive will intensify after the Ganesh festival in Lohegaon, Kharadi and Wagholi.
