Private School Traffic Causes Chaos in Pimpri-Chinchwad’s Wakad
A big private school in Pimpri-Chinchwad’s Wakad area is causing a lot of traffic problems.
The road in front of the school is very narrow, so when parents come to drop off or pick up their kids, it causes big traffic jams.
This has been happening for a long time, but it got really bad on Friday evening when students returned from a field trip.
The traffic was so bad that it took over an hour to clear.
Local residents have complained to the police, and the police are going to talk to the school about it.
The school principal was not available to comment.
