The Lonavala Police have been vigilant in enforcing the ban, setting up checkpoints at key locations to deter tourists from putting themselves at risk.
- Popular destinations such as Sahara Bridge, Bhushi Dam, and Lion’s Point in Lonavala have been off-limits to tourists due to the heavy rainfall and dangerous water levels in the area. The authorities have taken a proactive approach to safeguarding public safety by shutting down access to these attractions until the weather conditions improve.
- In addition to Lonavala, other tourist spots in Maval, Khed, Ambegaon, Junnar, Bhor, Velha, and Mulshi talukas have also been closed to the public.
