Overview

  • Hyderabad enforced dynamic diversions from about 11 a.m. to 6 p.m., with six rallies including a main procession from Puranapul Darwaza to the Shivaji statue at Imli Bun, and police lifted restrictions in phases as routes cleared.
  • In central Pune, a ceremonial procession is scheduled to start at 4 p.m. from Bhavani Mata Mandir to the Shivaji Statue near the Civil Court, prompting closures on key corridors such as Laxmi Road and Shivaji Road.
  • PMPML announced temporary rerouting from 4 p.m. for multiple city bus services, shifting via JM Road, Fergusson College Road, Dhole Patil Road, Kumthekar Road, Pune Station, Swargate and Kumbharwada until traffic normalises.
  • At Shivneri Fort, a district order signed under Section 115 of the Motor Vehicles Act mandates one-way systems, heavy-vehicle bans on the Narayangaon–Junnar approach and designated parking, with Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to perform the state puja.
  • Pimpri-Chinchwad police detailed local curbs, including a Hinjewadi procession window from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and Sangvi diversions from 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., while emergency services remain exempt and officials caution that on-ground adjustments may occur.
