PUNE: The Pune traffic branch has announced road closures and diversions ahead of Christmas celebrations in Pune Camp on the evenings of December 25, starting from 7 pm.

Anticipating large crowds, the traffic police have implemented these measures to ensure smooth movement on arterial roads and key connecting streets in the area. Emergency vehicles, including fire tenders, ambulances, police, and military vehicles, will remain exempt from these restrictions.

Deputy commissioner of police (DCP Traffic) Amol Zende issued an official order detailing the curbs and diversions.

According to Zende, these arrangements are necessary to manage the heavy footfall in Pune Camp, which attracts numerous residents and visitors, including those from other parts of Pune district and Western Maharashtra, to participate in the Christmas festivities and visit the historic British-era churches in the cantonment area.
