Traffic diversion effected by Pune Traffic Police last week to facilitate the latest stage of construction of Shivajinagar-Hinjewadi Metro seems to be causing major inconvenience to students and staff at Savitribai Phule Pune University (SPPU). Motorists wanting to enter the university campus, especially those coming from Shivajinagar end of University Road, complain of having to take a long detour from the university circle before entering the campus through Millennium Gate located on Aundh Road.
The diversions were announced after meetings between officials from Pune Traffic Police, Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC), Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) and Pune Metro.
