Pune Palkhi 2025: Traffic Updates, Routes, and Safety Guidelines

The Pune Palkhi 2025 procession is heading to Pandharpur amidst Vitthal namacha gajar. Police just issued fresh traffic and safety updates for Varkaris and commuters. Right now, the Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj and Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhis are on their respective routes. Road closures are everywhere. Several diversions are active.

Traffic Updates and Route Diversions

Authorities have implemented major traffic curbs to allow safe passage for the Dindis. The Pune-Pandharpur highway is restricted. Roads passing through Baramati and Saswad also have limited vehicle movement. Commuters should take alternate routes via the Solapur highway. Avoid the Dive Ghat section while the Palkhi passes.

• Heavy vehicles are strictly prohibited on the main Palkhi Marg until the procession clears the area.
• Police have set up designated parking zones outside major halt locations, including Alandi, Dehu, and Pune city.

Safety Guidelines for Varkaris

The administration has increased safety measures following recent highway accidents. Varkaris must walk inside the designated lanes. Mauli, please stay off the main highway lanes after dark.

• Follow the instructions of traffic police and your Dindi coordinators at all times.
• Visit the medical camps set up along the Alandi-Pandharpur and Dehu-Pandharpur routes if you feel unwell.
• Carry necessary medicines and drink enough water, especially during steep walking sections like Dive Ghat.

Police are using drones for crowd monitoring. This improves emergency response times. Check official updates for real-time information on the next mukkam (halt) and route progress.
