When Amanora Park Town was first announced, it wasn’t just about apartments and amenities — it was about a dream. A dream of a green, breathing heart right in the middle of a bustling township. Families imagined children running on soft grass, seniors enjoying shaded walks, and festivals under open skies. That dream was anchored by one promise: a sprawling, 26-acre central garden.
Now, that heart is in danger of being ripped out. And the people who built their lives here are refusing to let it happen.

The Heart of Amanora
This isn’t just a piece of land. For Amanora, it’s life itself:
- The Ecological Lung: Cooling the air, cleaning it, and giving birds and plants a home.
- The Social Core: Morning walkers greeting each other, kids chasing footballs, music drifting from festive gatherings.
- The Financial Promise: Buyers say they paid more because the garden wasn’t a perk — it was the selling point.
The Paper Trail of a Promise
Residents say the brochures, ads, and approved master plans all showed this as permanent open space. To see it suddenly reclassified feels like more than a betrayal — it feels like the rules have been rewritten mid-game.
And so the question burns: Was this always meant to stay green? Or has it been quietly marked for construction all along?
A Human Chain for the Green Soul
On protest day, the streets weren’t just filled — they were alive. Children holding hands with grandparents, neighbors greeting each other with determination in their eyes. They circled the garden like a protective embrace, telling the city and its leaders: This is ours, and we’re keeping it.
They’ve gone beyond local petitions and taken their fight to Maharashtra’s Chief Minister. This isn’t just about saving a park. It’s about saving trust.
The Developer’s Silence
We reached out to the developer for a statement. As of now, there’s been no reply.
Why This Battle Matters to All of Pune
If a promise like this can be broken here, what’s to stop it from happening anywhere? This is more than a local dispute — it’s a fight for the soul of urban planning in our city.
The outcome will echo far beyond Amanora’s gates.
