Pune, 15th November 2026: Pune Traffic Police have declared no-parking zones on six main routes for Sunday and Monday, November 15 and 16, and will shut two stretches near Kirad Chowk on Monday morning, for Union Home and Cooperation Minister Amit Shah’s two-day visit to the city.
The restrictions apply “as required”, which means police may stop traffic for short periods while the convoy passes. Commuters heading to the airport, Shivajinagar, Deccan or Sadashiv Peth should leave early on both days.
Which roads have no parking on November 15 and 16
According to the order shared by the Pune City Traffic Police and issued under Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Sandeep Bhajibhakhare, parking of all vehicles is banned on these routes on both days:
- Airport (technical area) to Bharat Forge in Mundhwa, via Viman Nagar Road, Ramwadi and ABC Chowk
- North Main Road, from Jehangir Chowk to Engineering College Chowk and Harris Bridge, Bopodi
- Sancheti Chowk to Senapati Bapat Road, via Ganeshkhind Road
- Engineering College Chowk to Nehru Memorial Chowk, via Shahir Amar Shaikh Chowk and the Zilla Parishad
- Jangli Maharaj Road to Tilak Road, via Tilak Chowk
- Fergusson College Road to the airport, via Shimla Office Chowk, Sancheti Chowk, Patil Estate, Sangamwadi, Sadalbaba Chowk, Ambedkar Chowk, Golf Club Chowk and 509 Chowk
Vehicles parked on these stretches may be towed. If you work on FC Road, JM Road or Ganeshkhind Road, park inside office or mall premises instead of on the road.
Roads closed on Monday, November 16
From 7 am on Monday until the programmes end, police will close two stretches in the Camp and Pune Station side of the city:
- Kirad Chowk to Nehru Memorial Hall Chowk: closed to traffic. Vehicles will be sent from Kirad Chowk towards the GPO route or via Blue Nile Hotel Chowk.
- Dorabjee Mall to Blue Nile Chowk: closed to traffic. Police have not listed an alternative for this stretch.
These closures fall on a working Monday morning, so people heading to offices in Camp and around Pune Station should expect slower traffic.
Tilak Road and Sadashiv Peth curbs on Monday
A separate no-parking zone will apply on Monday from 9 am until the event at the Bharat Itihas Sanshodhak Mandal (BISM) ends. It covers Tilak Road through Sahitya Parishad, Badshahi Chowk, the Perugate police outpost, Pavan Maruti Mandir and Bharat Natya Mandir up to the Itihas Mandal road.
Residents of Sadashiv Peth and Narayan Peth who usually park along Tilak Road should move their vehicles on Sunday night.
Heavy vehicles barred on VIP routes
On both days, heavy and slow vehicles are barred from the VIP routes and the roads leading to them. The list includes RMC concrete mixers, dumpers, heavy goods trucks, JCB machines, road rollers and tractors. Construction sites along these roads may see deliveries held up.
Where Amit Shah will be on Sunday and Monday
Reports by Rashtrabaan and Pune Prime News give this schedule:
- Sunday, November 15: a visit to Bharat Forge in Mundhwa around 1 pm for the company’s 60th year, then a groundbreaking for a cooperative project of the National Heavy Engineering Cooperative at Talegaon Dabhade around 3.15 pm. The Bharat Taxi service is also due to be launched during the day.
- Monday, November 16: visits to the Bharatiya Jain Sanghatana and Shantilal Muta Foundation offices around 10.30 am, an event in memory of the late former Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar at the Zilla Parishad around 11.30 am, and the launch of a Maratha history digitisation project at BISM around noon.
The routes above link these venues with the airport. We covered Sunday’s Talegaon programme and the Run for Unity in our earlier report on the visit.
What is still not clear
Police have not given end times for the Sunday restrictions or for the Monday closures beyond “until the programme concludes”. Exact convoy timings are not made public for security reasons. We will update this story if the traffic police issue changes. For other route changes in the city, see our Pune traffic and metro section.
