Pimpri-Chinchwad roads unsafe to walk on: NGO

Pimpri-Chinchwad roads unsafe to walk on: NGO:  Citizens are facing traffic problems due to lack of pedestrian safety measures and poor implementation of traffic regulations. This despite widening of roads, pointed out Paryavaran Sanvardhan Samiti, a group dealing with environmental issues in Pimpri-Chinchwad.
Vikas Patil, president, Paryavaran Sanvardhan Samiti said that at all busy junctions, autorickshaws are seen parked in a haphazard manner resulting in traffic congestion. "The civic body has widened many important roads in the city including Pune-Mumbai highway stretch, Telco road, and Aundh-Ravet highway and has spent crores on it. However, haphazard parking of vehicles and autorickshaws at busy junctions is obstructing the smooth flow of traffic," he said.
