In a major step to ease civic problems and traffic congestion in the Chakan–Talegaon industrial belt, the Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority (PMRDA) has launched strict action against illegal encroachments.

Over 40 illegal structures were demolished in a joint drive conducted by PMRDA, the Chakan Municipal Council, and the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), with heavy police deployment. Officials confirmed the demolition campaign will continue in the coming days.
