Chakan Industrial Infrastructure Projects Accelerate to Ease Traffic Congestion
Chakan is a busy industrial area near Pune where many vehicles use the roads.
Officials met to check whether improvement projects were moving forward.
Some roads have already been completed, while others are still being built.
The projects include wider roads, footpaths, dividers and better road shoulders.
A parking facility is now operating to help reduce roadside parking.
More traffic staff, a crane and wheel clamps will help manage blocked or wrongly parked vehicles.
Officials also want permanent drains to prevent waterlogging during the monsoon.
Work has started on a transformer to improve electricity supply.
They also plan regular road maintenance and landscaping.
Pune Collector Jitendra Dudi reviewed road, traffic, drainage, parking and power projects in Chakan MIDC.
A completed 5.5-kilometre concrete road and an 80%-finished 4.03-kilometre six-lane road were highlighted.
Road projects totaling several kilometres across Phases I through V are progressing under multiple agencies.
Authorities approved 45 MSF personnel, a crane and 50 wheel clamps to improve traffic management.
Officials were directed to develop permanent drainage, strengthen power supply and maintain dividers and landscaping.
