Traffic is under immense strain due to ongoing development works on approximately 28 major city roads in preparation for the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. Daily traffic congestion at numerous intersections and main roads is causing significant inconvenience to motorists and the general public. Against this backdrop, the reshuffle within the traffic department was deemed necessary.

Ten days ago, DCP Kirtika CM was relieved of the responsibility for the traffic department, and Chandrakant Gawali was appointed in her place. Newly appointed ACPs Pramod Wagh and Purnima Patil have not yet assumed their posts; the allocation of other responsibilities within the Police Commissionerate will be finalised upon their arrival.

These changes are considered crucial for ensuring safe and orderly traffic flow for the lakhs of devotees expected to attend the Simhastha Kumbh Mela. The Police Commissionerate has stepped up efforts to manage traffic congestion, and citizens are urged to cooperate by adhering to the rules.
