Live Traffic Updates: Diversions for Alandi to Pune Palkhi Procession

Traffic Diversions on Alandi-Pune Route

The Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj Palkhi is moving from Alandi to its scheduled halt in Pune. Authorities have rolled out major traffic changes. Commuters and Varkaris must note the closed roads. Find alternative routes. This helps everyone avoid severe congestion on the highway.

The main Alandi-Pune road through Dighi and Vishrantwadi is shut down. Safety for the Dindis comes first. Are you driving to Pune? Police are diverting cars via the Charholi and Markal routes. Heavy barricades stand near Dighi Magazine Chowk. Trucks and heavy vehicles are kept completely off the Palkhi Marg.

Key Road Closures in Pune City

Central roads will close until July 11 once the Palkhi enters Pune city limits. The stretch from Wakdewadi to Sancheti Hospital on the old Mumbai-Pune highway is blocked. Avoid it. Officials suggest using Range Hills or Senapati Bapat Road for north-to-south travel across town.

And expect heavy restrictions on the Fergusson College Road and the Jangali Maharaj Road. Traffic will crawl. The procession will soon near the Nivdungya Vithoba Mandir in Nana Peth. It then heads to the Palkhi Vithoba Mandir in Bhavani Peth for the resting period.

Guidance for Varkaris

Mauli devotees walking with the Dindis must stick to pedestrian paths marked by the Pune Police. Keep the Vitthal namacha gajar going. Emergency medical camps sit every few kilometres along the Vishrantwadi and Sangamwadi stretches. Water tankers and mobile toilets stand ready near the Wakdewadi junction.

Coming to join the Palkhi? Take a local train to Shivajinagar or ride the Pune Metro. Alandi road bus services are paused right now. Officials expect the Palkhi to reach the Pune mukkam by late evening. Varkaris will find adequate resting arrangements waiting there.
