Pune, 10th February 2024: In response to the ongoing construction work on flyovers and metro pillars at Savitribai Phule Pune University Chowk, which has narrowed the road width in the area, causing significant traffic congestion on surrounding roads like Ganeshkhind Road, Aundh Road, and Baner Road, the Pune City Traffic Branch has devised a temporary traffic diversion plan effective from February 10th until further notice.
