Punekars irked by traffic congestion

TRAFFIC MENACE | Enraged residents write to President; police are hopeful of quick resolution

- Ankit Shukla

From Dhayri to Kondhwa, traffic woes continue to plague Pune's residents as congestion on key roads has become a daily struggle. Despite repeated complaints from residents to the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and traffic authorities, effective solutions remain elusive. While many residents feel the civic body is ignoring the issue, a group of concerned citizens has made progress in their fight against traffic problems.

Residents of the Dhayri area have raised concerns about ongoing traffic congestion for years, but no action has been taken. The city's expansion and growing population have led to inadequate roads in many areas. Despite following up with the municipal administration and state government, the issue has remained unresolved. Frustrated, the residents decided to bring the matter to the attention of President Droupadi Murmu. They sent a letter explaining the problem, and in response, the President instructed Maharashtra's Chief Secretary to look into the issue.
