Pune Police Ban Heavy Vehicles on Gangadham Road After Fatal Accident
Market Yard, 21st June 2024: Following a fatal accident on Pune’s Gangadham Road involving a speeding dumper and a two-wheeler, the Pune Police Traffic Branch has decided to ban heavy vehicles such as trucks, dumpers, and trailers in the Pune Market Yard.
The accident resulted in the death of a senior citizen woman, Damyanti Bhupendra Solanki (59), who was riding pillion behind her daughter-in-law, Priyanka Rahul Solanki (22), who was also injured. In response to this incident, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Rohidas Pawar announced a ban on heavy vehicles on specific sections of the Katraj Kondhwa road. The restrictions are in effect from Shatrunjay Mandir to Gangadham Chowk and from Tilekar Nagar to Gangadham Chowk between 7 AM and 10 PM.
The order, issued by DCP Rohidas Pawar, aims to mitigate the risks posed by ongoing construction work and the presence of heavy vehicles, which have previously led to accidents on this road. Citizens had been demanding the closure of this road to heavy vehicles, and the Pune Police Traffic Branch has responded by implementing these measures.
Anyone with complaints or concerns regarding this situation is encouraged to submit them to the DCP Traffic Office in Yerawada, as urged by DCP Rohidas Pawar.
