Pune Witnessed Massive Congestion As Roads Remained Shut For Narendra Modi's Rally
Thousands of commuters faced significant disruptions yesterday as multiple roads were closed due to security concerns surrounding Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s rally in the city. The rally drew large crowds, prompting authorities to shut down several key roads, leading to widespread congestion and traffic jams.
Social media platforms were flooded with complaints and updates from frustrated citizens. Many expressed their frustration, citing hours-long traffic jams and lack of prior notice. “Stuck in traffic for hours due to PM Modi’s rally in Pune. Roads closed without prior notice,” tweeted @SouravD43962824. Others warned fellow commuters to plan their travels accordingly.
The road closures and resulting congestion affected daily life, causing inconvenience to residents, office-goers, and businesses. “Pune’s traffic is a nightmare today! Roads closed for the PM’s rally. Plan your commute accordingly,” warned @jitheshpattu. Reports of stranded commuters and choked roads poured in, with @shashank12321 tweeting, “Stranded in traffic for over an hour. Pune’s roads are choked due to the PM’s rally.”
