Overview

• The Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi reached Pimpri-Chinchwad on June 19 and both processions are set to enter Pune city limits on June 20
• Heavy rainfall has raised waterlogging risks on low-lying sections, prompting municipal orders for zero ponding along Palkhi routes
• Pune Traffic Police and civic agencies have implemented extensive road closures and detours across key corridors to manage pilgrim and commuter flows
• The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has directed 1,494 hoarding agencies to inspect and reinforce their structures along procession paths
• Police have banned public access to the top side of Dive Ghat on June 22 due to ongoing roadworks and safety concerns during the procession
