Metro in Pune-advantage Hinjawadi!

Those long, frustrating hours in the endless traffic, hyper honkers, signal breakdowns. …the traffic snarls seem like a perpetual and inevitable reality for Puneites. The causes behind the dismal traffic situation could be many. Rapid industrialization and urbanization,  the resultant rise in the population, narrow roads that are not conducive to mixed traffic conditions, so on and so forth. Transport system by roads and flyovers are insufficient to help the precarious traffic condition. On the other hand, there is no control over the ever-growing traffic.  Consequently, pollution and road accidents are on the rise, adding to the anxieties of the city dwellers and administration.

Welcome news for Hinjawadi

The metro would serve as the lifeline for the people of Hinjawadi- residents and ITians alike, taking the colossal burden of commuting through the mundane traffic snarls off their chest. Needless to say that it would intensify Hinjawadi’s appeal as one of the most desirable residential domains in the city of Pune.
