In a major boost to public transport in the Chakan industrial region, the Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited (PMPML) has officially launched a new bus service catering to the area’s workers and residents. The initiative follows sustained efforts and follow-ups by the Federation of Chakan Industries with various government authorities.

The new bus service was inaugurated near NTB International Limited by Kamal Kacholia, Director of the Federation of Chakan Industries.

Mid-Day had earlier highlighted Chakan’s traffic problems in its August 3 edition, reporting how commuters face unruly traffic and poor infrastructure conditions.
