The Hinjawadi Industries Association, Pune has written a letter to the Pimpri Chinchwad Commissioner seeking his help in resolving the traffic issues from the Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park, Hinjawadi. The letter stated that since the company has mandated the employees to report to the office for work, there is an increase in the traffic in the area. However, the company employees have been stating that with poor management of traffic on the road, the employees are reaching the office late.
