While Pune is infamous for its traffic, an ambulance in the city’s Hadapsar area was seen stuck on Saturday, taking nearly 3 minutes to move just 50 meters.
The patient was in the ambulance, and the family was left helpless as the vehicle barely moved. People nearby looked on, but no one could do anything because of the heavy traffic jam.
Traffic in Pune is getting worse, and it's now affecting emergency services too. If this continues, it could cost lives.

At present, several roads in the city are closed due to the Ashadhi Wari procession. Today, the two palkhis went on their separate routes. They will reach Pandharpur on Ashadhi Ekadashi, which falls on July 6 this year.
The Pune Police have launched a website to track the palkhi (palanquins) processions of Sant Tukaram Maharaj and Sant Dnyaneshwar Maharaj, and to access real-time traffic and road closure updates in the city.
