Pimpri-Chinchwad Bans Amusement Rides on Civic Grounds Over Safety
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) is no longer allowing amusement rides like swings and inflatable playhouses on its land.
This is because they've noticed some of these rides weren't safe, causing accidents.
The government wants to protect kids, so they've told people they can't set up these rides anymore on the city's parks and other public spaces.
They are making sure that no one puts them up without permission and make sure people are safe.
