Overview
- A high‑level committee led by Collector Jitendra Dudi and Pimpri‑Chinchwad Police Commissioner Vinoy Kumar Choubey met Tuesday and issued a coordinated, time‑bound plan that assigns clear tasks to MIDC, NHAI, PMRDA, PWD and other agencies.
- The administration banned roadside parking with enforcement beginning August 19 and will use MIDC open land for heavy‑vehicle parking while installing signboards to keep lanes clear.
- Pune traffic police have paused routine e‑challans until August 31 to redeploy personnel to manage junctions, and the plan includes 100 Maharashtra Security Force staff working in two shifts plus heavy cranes to clear broken‑down vehicles quickly.
- All major road repairs and power‑infrastructure fixes in the Chakan belt are to be completed by August 31 and contractors or officials who deliver poor work or miss deadlines face blacklisting or other action while an anti‑encroachment drive will begin on August 25.
- Longer‑term measures under development include AI traffic simulation, CCTV command‑and‑control monitoring and a proposed elevated corridor, steps intended to reduce road fatalities, lower commute times and help nearly 3,000 companies keep operations running.
