On Oct 6, a truck crashed into a private luxury bus on the link, leaving five passengers seriously injured
The urgency follows a recent accident on Oct 6, when a truck crashed into a private luxury bus on the link, leaving five passengers seriously injured. We have, therefore, requested MSRDC officials to install multilingual signboards on the expressway before the approach to the connecting link, clearly mentioning the ban on heavy vehicles and providing appropriate directions.
Superintendent of police, HSP (Pune), Shivaji Pawar, told TOI , “The drivers of trucks, container trucks, and other heavy vehicles are unaware of the orders banning their movement on the connecting link. We will deploy a team on the connecting link, and cases will be registered at the local police station,” he said. “Moreover, we have decided to register cases against truck drivers who violate the ban and ply on the connecting link.
