Authorities have imposed restrictions for travellers in Pune

Monsoon is here and many people are planning to travel, hike or trek. Keeping this in mind, the Pune district administration has implemented strict safety restrictions at some of the most popular tourist spots, including Lohagad Fort. Heavy rainfall has made trekking routes slippery, increased water flow at waterfalls and dams, and raised the risk of accidents. In response, local authorities and the district administration have stepped up safety measures to prevent mishaps. Apart from Lohagad Fort, the restrictions also apply to other tourist locations, including Visapur Fort, Tikona Fort, Lion's Point, Tung Fort, Tiger Point, Shivling Point, Karla Caves, Bhaje Caves and the Pavana Dam area.
