Pune imposes 10-day ban on heavy and oversized vehicles
Starting today, Pune has put a 10-day ban on heavy and oversized vehicles entering city limits, running until June 24.
This move is all about making traffic smoother and roads safer, since recent data showed that big trucks and construction vehicles are a key contributor to jams and accidents.
Checkpoints enforce ban and penalize violators
Enforcement teams are set up at major entry points to keep things in check, and anyone breaking the rules will face strict action.
The ban covers all heavy trucks, construction vehicles, and freight carriers, but if you're driving a car or motorcycle, you're good to go.
Truck drivers have been asked to cooperate so everyone can get around more easily during these 10 days.
Traffic police are urging commuters and operators to watch for official advisories.
