Pune to use Malaysian tech for elevated roads
Pune is one of the most traffic-choked cities in India.
To fix this, the government is building three big elevated roads.
They will use special technology from Malaysia.
This will help reduce traffic jams and pollution.
The roads will connect Pune to other nearby cities.
Important people like Nitin Gadkari, the road transport minister, and the state's chief minister started the project by laying the foundation stone.
Pune is among the top three or four most traffic-choked cities in India.
Three elevated road corridors will be built using Malaysian technology.
The corridors are Pune-Shirur, Hadapsar-Yavat, and Talegaon-Chakan-Shikrapur.
