Pune traffic restricted on key roads for Tiranga rally
A big special event is happening in a city called Pune in India.
It is a rally, which means many people walk or drive together to celebrate something.
The rally is part of a campaign called 'Har Ghar Tiranga', which is about the Indian national flag.
Because so many people will take part, the police are keeping some roads clear for them.
