Pune Bans Daytime Goods Transport in Central Markets Until November 12
Pune Traffic Police have banned daytime goods vehicle movement for deliveries, loading, and unloading in several central market areas until November 12 to reduce congestion during the Diwali shopping rush. The restrictions, effective from October 26, allow goods transport only between 11 pm and 9 am in busy commercial stretches like Laxmi Road, Tulshibaug, and Mahatma Phule Mandai. Authorities aim to ease traffic and ensure pedestrian safety on narrow, crowded roads during peak hours.
