Activists Protest Rising Accidents on Pune's Vishrantwadi-Alandi Road
In Pune, people are very upset because there have been many accidents on a road called Vishrantwadi-Alandi.
The road has a divider that is not well-built and is hard to see at night, which causes accidents.
A social worker named Sachin Bhosale and other residents protested by performing a special ritual called aarti on the divider to show their anger.
They say the city officials have not done anything to fix the problem even though people have been complaining for two years.
They want the officials to remove the bad divider, put up better lights, and take responsibility for the accidents.
If nothing is done, they plan to block the road to get attention.
Activists performed aarti on an accident-prone divider on Vishrantwadi-Alandi Road in Pune to protest rising mishaps.
Social activist Sachin Bhosale blamed poor planning by PMC and PMPML for the accidents.
Residents reported 20 to 25 serious accidents due to the poorly visible divider at night.
Protesters demanded the removal of the partial BRT route and installation of proper lighting and reflectors.
Residents threatened a major road blockade if the administration does not take immediate action.
