Prez visit hits rough patch

Pune, already infamous for potholes, is again making national headlines as President Droupadi Murmu's convoy encountered rough roads, prompting her to write a letter to the Pune Police. President Murmu, who arrived on a two-day visit to the city on Sep 2, encountered these road hazards firsthand, prompting her office to issue a letter to the Pune Police, expressing dissatisfaction and demanding immediate action.
