Improving PMPML service is the only solution to the citys traffic problem, Vishwas Pandhare,DCP,Traffic Control Branch said. He was speaking at a gathering organised by Wanowrie Traffic Police to invite traffic-related suggestions from the citizens. The meeting took place around 6 pm at Turf Club and was attended by residents of Wanowrie-Hadapsar area.
Pandhare said,The citys traffic chaos is directly related to the public transport system. The BEST services in Mumbai act as a lifelines for the everyday commuters,irrespective of how crowded the buses are.
Pandhare and other police officials also jotted down the solutions offered by the citizens. In the Traffic Junta Darbar,Manikrao Akolkar,senior PI,Wanowrie Traffic Division said,The reason behind this meeting is to understand the concerns of the people. The outputs from this meeting will be implemented in the Hadapsar-Wanowrie belt in collaboration with the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) and the Pune Cantonment Board (PCB). He also said that during the Palkhi day celebrations on June 15,traffic will be diverted from the Swargate-Hadapsar road.
Munir Shaikh of Hadapsar,associated with the Citizens Traffic Committee said,The solutions that come out of such interactions are helpful. For instance,the one way traffic flow implemented on the Mantri market-Sasane Nagar junction has proved beneficial. Meetings like this should be organised once in every two months.
