Christmas 2022: Heavy traffic at Mumbai-Pune Expressway, long queues of vehicles

Amid the festive vibes of long Christmas weekend, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway experiences long queues of vehicles lined up in line ahead of toll plazas and in the Khandala ghat region near Lonavala on Saturday.
As Christmas is around the corner, many people from Mumbai as well as Pune are travelling out of city, hence the Mumbai-Pune Expressway is packed with heavy traffic on both sides with travellers in distress.
A number of passengers have taken their frustration to Twitter by adding tweets over dissatisfaction over the long wait in queues on the expressway.
Tagging Union Highways Minister, Nitin Gadkari in his tweet, an irritated traveller tweeted, “Stuck on the mumbai pune expressway due to the stupid toll! @nitin_gadkari take advance toll 5000 but god sakes stop this madness ! Horrible state of affairs in this state.”
Another traveller tagged the CM and DCM of Maharashtra in his tweet, while expressing his distress he said, “@nitin_gadkari @CMOMaharashtra @Dev_Fadnavis @Devendra_Office 30 Minutes JAM on Mumbai Pune Expressway. Spoke to Expressway Police. Expressed unablity to direct Toll collection agency to speedup toll collection. Who will ensure Public Cause ?What happens to Ambulances stuck ?”
Another fellow traveller complained about the traffic at toll plaza mentioning the rule of letting go if there is more than 10 minutes of wait. He said in his tweet, “@NHAI_Official @TOIMumbai 40 minutes Toll queue on Mumbai Pune expressway at Khalapur. Isn’t there a rule to allow cars to pass through if wait time more than 10 minutes?”
The traffic at Mumbai-Pune Expressway is believed to prevail for the weekend. Hence as precautionary measures, the Highway Police has stopped movement of heavy vehicles on the expressway which will help in the passage of smaller vehicles effectively. The police have advised people to leave early and arrive safely.

A Group of Teenagers Has Started Stealing Bikes: Agripada Residents Alarmed as Police Inaction Continues

Mumbai, May 14, 2025: A disturbing trend of bike thefts is gripping the Agripada area as a group of teenagers has allegedly been stealing motorcycles in broad daylight. In the past few days, multiple incidents of theft have been reported, sparking concern and anger among residents over what they describe as police inaction.
Surveillance footage, including one video submitted by a local resident, clearly shows a group of young individuals stealing a parked motorcycle in a matter of minutes. The thefts are happening across various locations within Agripada police jurisdiction, indicating a pattern and potential coordination among the culprits.
What’s raising eyebrows is that despite having access to CCTV footage and complaints from victims, the Agripada Police Station has not yet lodged a formal First Information Report (FIR), even after more than two weeks since the incidents began.
“I went to the station with the video, thinking that would be enough for them to take action,” said a local resident and victim whose bike was recently stolen. “But all I got were assurances. No FIR has been registered even now.”
Residents say the lack of police response is emboldening the culprits, who appear to operate without fear of being caught. The community is calling for immediate intervention from senior police officials and a more proactive approach to patrolling and investigating these thefts.
Legal experts point out that delay in filing an FIR, especially when video evidence is available, violates basic policing protocols. “The police are duty-bound to register a complaint if a cognizable offense is reported,” said Advocate Sneha Deshpande, a Mumbai-based criminal lawyer.
As anxiety grows among locals and trust in law enforcement continues to erode, the question remains: how many more bikes will be stolen before action is finally taken?
