Pune, February 12, 2026: Mayor Manjusha Deepak Nagpure visited Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital to meet Rameshwar Avtikar, a young man who was critically injured in a road accident at Karve Nagar.

The rider, Rameshwar Avtikar, sustained severe injuries to his neck and spine and was immediately rushed to Deenanath Mangeshkar Hospital for emergency treatment.
During her visit, Mayor Nagpure reviewed the patient’s medical condition and held discussions with the treating doctors regarding the ongoing treatment and future course of care. The medical team informed her that the patient’s condition is currently stable and that necessary surgeries and specialised treatment protocols have been planned, with a team of expert doctors closely monitoring his recovery.
The Mayor also interacted with the victim’s family members, offering them reassurance and emotional support. She assured them that all possible assistance for the patient’s treatment would be provided through appropriate channels.
Emphasising the need for preventive measures, Mayor Nagpure said strict safety protocols would be directed to the concerned departments to ensure that adequate precautions are taken during tree cutting and road-related works, so that such accidents are prevented in the future.
