Pune Traffic Police Issues New Measures to Curb Accidents on Katraj – Kondhwa Road and Khadi Machine Chowk

Deputy Commissioner of Police Rohidas Pawar has spearheaded significant alterations in traffic management in response to the surge in accidents along Katraj – Kondhwa Road and around Khadi Machine Chowk.

Effective as of Tuesday, a series of traffic pattern changes have been initiated in these specific areas. Notably, the Katraj-Kondhwa road, spanning from State Bank Chowk to Shatrunjay Mandir Chowk-Pundalik Tilekar Nagar Chowk to Khadi Machine Chowk, has been designated as a one-way thoroughfare for all vehicles. Similarly, the route from Khadi Machine Chowk to Shriram Chowk to ISKCON Mandir Chowk to State Bank Chowk has been reconfigured into a one-way path.

Access to Katraj via a right turn from Shatrunjaya Chowk has been discontinued. Motorists are advised to opt for a left turn at Shatrunjay Chowk and subsequently navigate a right turn in front of Dhariwal School to reach their destination efficiently. Moreover, the right-hand entry from ISKCON Mandir Chowk and Ahilyadevi Nagar has been closed off. It’s recommended for drivers to take a left turn at ISKCON Mandir Chowk and proceed through State Bank Chowk.

To facilitate travel from Katraj to Yevlewadi, drivers should make a right turn at the Khadi Machine Police Check post, followed by another right turn at Shriram Chowk situated at Khadi Machine Chowk. Similarly, those heading from Tilekar Nagar to Khadi Machine Chowk and Yevlewadi should turn left at Tilekar Nagar Chowk and continue through Khadi Machine Chowk via Shriram Chowk.

Furthermore, restrictions will be imposed on the movement of large vehicles between Khadi Machine Police Chowki and Shriram Chowk during specified time slots. The ban on heavy vehicles will be enforced from 8 am to 11 am and 5 pm to 9 pm along the Vadachi Wadi to Undri Chowk route, as well as from Vadachi Wadi to Ambekar Chowk (Jagdamba Bhawan Road) during the same hours. These traffic regulatory adjustments aim to enhance road safety and diminish accidents in the mentioned areas, prioritizing the welfare of both commuters and residents.
