Pune: As CM Eknath Shinde gets stuck in jam and commuters complain to him, officials promise urgent steps

After Chief Minister Eknath Shinde got stuck in a traffic jam at Pune’s Chandani Chowk on the Mumbai-Bangalore highway on Friday, top officials reached the spot on Saturday to take stock and initiate steps to ease bottlenecks on the highway stretch.

For months, commuters have faced traffic jams daily on this stretch as the NHAI has been constructing a flyover at the spot.

As Shinde’s convoy, which was on its way to Satara, got stuck in a traffic jam at Chandani Chowk, angry commuters made him come out of his vehicle and inundated him with complaints against the daily jams at the spot.
