Pune Traffic Police Get 100 Additional Wardens From CREDAI To Ease Congestion Amid Monsoon
Pune, July 4, 2026: As Pune gears up for the monsoon season, CREDAI Pune has joined hands with the Pune Traffic Police to help improve traffic management across the city. Under a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed with the Additional Commissioner Police, CREDAI Pune has pledged deployment of 100 trained traffic wardens who will support the Pune Traffic Police from July to September 2026.
The partnership was formally launched with an induction ceremony, following which the Traffic Wardens were officially handed over to the Pune Traffic Police. Dignitaries who were present at the ceremony were Amitesh Kumar, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Pune City; Sanjay Darade, IPS, Joint Commissioner of Police, Mr. Manoj Patil, IPS, Additional Commissioner of Police, Pune (East); Dr. Sandeep Bhajibhakare, IPS, Dy. Commissioner of Police, Pune (Traffic). Manish Jain, President, CREDAI Pune; Sanjay Deshpande, Convener – Police Committee, CREDAI Pune and Col. Kumar Ramachandran (retd), Director General, CREDAI Pune were also present at the event.
The additional Traffic Wardens will provide crucial support to the Pune Traffic Police during the monsoon, when heavy rainfall, ongoing road & Metro works and increased congestion place adds pressure on traffic management. Their presence at key junctions will help regulate traffic flow, reduce bottlenecks, and improve commuter safety during peak hours and major public events.
Before taking charge of their duties, all 100 wardens completed a two-day training programme to familiarize themselves with traffic management protocols and on-ground operations.
The wardens will be engaged on a contractual basis and will work daily from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., with scheduled breaks during their shift. To ensure operational efficiency, nearly half of the wardens will be deployed in areas closer to where they reside, while the remaining personnel will be stationed at key traffic junctions and locations across Pune based on the requirements of the Pune Traffic Police.
Commenting on the initiative, Manish Jain, President, CREDAI Pune, said, “At CREDAI Pune, we believe that contributing to the city’s development goes beyond building homes. We are pleased to partner with the Pune Traffic Police in this initiative and support their efforts during the monsoon season. Better traffic management benefits everyone, and we hope this additional manpower will help make daily commuting safer and more convenient for the citizens of Pune.”
Speaking at the inaugural event, Amitesh Kumar, IPS, Commissioner of Police, Pune City, said, “I would like to thank the Members of CREDAI Pune, especially Manish Jain and Sanjay Deshpande, for extending their support to the Pune Traffic Police through this initiative. All the Traffic Wardens have undergone requisite training before being deployed on the field. I urge them to put this training into practice, carry out their responsibilities with sincerity & discipline, and always interact with citizens in a courteous and respectful manner. Their contribution will play an important role in strengthening traffic management across the city during the monsoon season and major public events.”
Manoj Patil, IPS, Addl Commissioner Pune East who was instrumental in taking forward the MoU expressed that “In addition to assisting with day-to-day traffic regulation during the monsoon, the wardens will also provide support during major public events taking place over the next few months, including the Palkhi procession, Ganesh Chaturthi celebrations, and other occasions that witness a significant increase in Vehicular movement and Citizen’s safety”.
This initiative reflects CREDAI Pune’s continued commitment to supporting civic causes and working alongside public authorities to contribute to the overall well-being of the city and its residents.
