- Pune authorities have announced a two-phase drive to tackle encroachments on critical corridors in the city. The first phase, scheduled from March 3-10, will target Pune-Solapur Road, Pune-Nashik Road, and Chandni Chowk to Paud. The second phase, running from March 10-20, will focus on Pune-Satara Road and the congested Hinjewadi area.
- Concerns over encroachments causing accidents and traffic congestion have been raised by citizens for a long time. A recent viral video captured a speeding car crashing into a roadside stall, narrowly missing pedestrians. Officials have confirmed that proper road measurements were taken into account before planning the anti-encroachment drive.
- The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has promised to conduct similar operations twice a year to prevent the resurgence of illegal structures within Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad limits.
- Although local activists have welcomed the initiative, they emphasize the importance of consistent enforcement to prevent encroachments from resurfacing. Authorities have issued warnings of strict actions against those who fail to comply with the regulations.
- The primary goal of this anti-encroachment drive is to restore smooth traffic flow and improve road safety throughout the Pune region. Stay tuned for updates on the progress of the operation.
