Pune Runners Face Dangers: Potholes, Debris, and Safety Concerns

People who like to run in Pune are finding it harder and more dangerous.

The roads have become bumpy and messy because of construction, like the metro, and they are not being fixed quickly enough.

This makes it risky for runners, like Dr. Neelam Vaid, who have had accidents.

Traffic is busy, and drivers sometimes don't follow the rules.

The city isn’t keeping up with road repairs, so runners are moving to safer areas or running less often.

Some are taking extra precautions, like running against traffic to stay safe.

The city's problems include garbage, bad road quality, and drivers not respecting signals.

The government, citizens, and contractors all have a role to play in making the roads safe.
