The Pune district administration has set a deadline of August 31 to complete road repairs in Chakan, with Maharashtra State Fire personnel deployed to help reduce congestion.
The Pune district administration announced that all pending road‑repair works in the industrial hub of Chakan must be finished by 31 August. The directive comes amid growing complaints from commuters about severe traffic bottlenecks on the town’s main arteries.
To accelerate the work and manage the resulting traffic, officials have mobilised personnel from the Maharashtra State Fire (MSF) department. These teams will assist in traffic control, guide vehicles around construction zones and ensure safety standards are met.
The deadline aims to restore smoother flow on the Pune‑Nashik highway and adjoining local roads that serve thousands of daily commuters and freight operators. District officials said progress will be monitored daily and any delays will be addressed promptly.
Local businesses and residents have welcomed the move, noting that prolonged congestion has affected delivery schedules and commuting times. The administration urged motorists to cooperate with the MSF crews and follow temporary diversions until the repairs are completed.
If the works are completed on schedule, Chakan’s traffic situation is expected to improve markedly, reducing travel time and enhancing road safety for both private and commercial vehicles.
