The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) has issued comprehensive guidelines for the upcoming Ganeshotsav and Navratri festivals, scheduled from September 14 to 24. These directives aim to ensure public safety, maintain traffic flow, and minimize inconvenience to residents during the celebrations.

The PMC also stressed the importance of environmentally responsible celebrations, urging adherence to pollution-control instructions. After the festivities conclude, mandals are responsible for removing temporary structures and restoring sites to their original condition.
Citizens can report any violations or concerns through the PMC Connect portal, the civic body's helpline, or by contacting their respective ward offices and local police stations.
