Pune Metro to Operate Late Nights During Ganesh Festival, Ajit Pawar Affirms
Pune, 28th August 2023: Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar’s visit to Pune today brought news of extended celebrations for the upcoming Ganesh festival. A towering 106-foot national flag was unveiled at Hadapsar in the morning, symbolizing unity and patriotism. Subsequently, a significant meeting took place at the police headquarters, where Pawar engaged with officials from various Ganesh mandals.
In a pivotal announcement, Deputy CM Pawar declared that Pune Metro services would stretch their operating hours until midnight during the duration of the vibrant Ganesh festival. Known for its global recognition and attracting international visitors, Pune’s Ganesh festival is anticipated to be a spirited affair this year. Pawar assured that the police department is well-prepared to ensure the safety and security of devotees, issuing specific guidelines to facilitate a smooth experience.
Highlighting a unique aspect of Pune’s Ganesh festival, Pawar acknowledged the grand processions that characterize the celebrations. Often delayed in previous years, the mandals are determined to conclude their processions on schedule this time, with Pawar emphasizing the administration’s commitment to facilitating this.
Explaining his rationale for holding weekly meetings in Pune, Pawar elaborated that the effects of these gatherings resonate for approximately a week, prompting his regular scheduling. This approach differs from those who believe the impact persists for a month or two, leading to less frequent meetings. Pawar also underscored the harmonious relationship he shares with political figures Shinde and Fadnavis, while acknowledging the presence of dissenting voices that criticize his viewpoints.
