Pune: Jaihind Talkies Building in Khadki Demolished for Highway Widening

The iconic Jaihind Talkies building in Khadki has been demolished. Located on the Pune-Mumbai highway, the building was brought down by the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) last night. This demolition is part of a project to widen the old Pune-Mumbai highway, improving connectivity between Pune city and Pimpri Chinchwad.
The demolition took place in the middle of the night. The PMC aimed to minimize disruption to traffic and daily activities in the area. The Jaihind Talkies building had stood on this highway for many years, making its removal a significant event for local residents.
The widening of the highway is expected to ease traffic congestion and enhance transportation efficiency. The decision to demolish the building was not taken lightly. It reflects the growing need for infrastructure development in the rapidly expanding region.

This move is expected to further improve traffic flow and reduce travel time between Pune and Mumbai. Local commuters are hopeful that these changes will bring much-needed relief to the daily traffic woes.
