Pune: Massive Protest In Chakan On October 9 Over Traffic And Road Issues
Pune, October 8, 2025: Industrialists and residents of Chakan are set to stage a protest march on Thursday, October 9, from Chakan to the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) office in Akurdi, demanding urgent solutions to the region’s worsening traffic congestion.
Organized under the banner of the Traffic-Free Chakan Kruti Samiti, the protest aims to push for immediate government intervention and long-term measures to ease traffic in the rapidly growing industrial hub.
Despite repeated appeals to political leaders and authorities, traffic issues continue to plague both residents and the industrial workforce. “The residents and industrialists are extremely frustrated. This protest will see large participation, as people demand action on the streets,” said Kunal Kad, a member of the Kruti Samiti.
Kad added that while multiple government proposals have been announced, deadlines are frequently missed, and congestion persists across all routes in and around Chakan.
Traffic congestion in Chakan is hampering industrial growth, with commuters often taking over two hours to cover just 10 km.
Residents and industrialists are now urging immediate action before the situation worsens further.
