The affected stretch behind Magarpatta has witnessed water accumulation, resulting in a near standstill of traffic on the busy Hadapsar–Mundhwa Road. Commuters are facing long delays, particularly at Mundhwa Chowk, where heavy congestion has been reported.

According to traffic officials, the situation is expected to persist for the next 10 to 12 hours as water continues to remain on the road. Traffic police have issued a traffic advisory urging motorists to avoid the affected route and use alternate roads to ease congestion.

Suggested diversions include routes via Vaiduwadi Chowk, Shinde Vasti, Shirke Road, Jahangir Nagar, and Tadigutta for those heading towards Mundhwa.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (Traffic), Himmat Jadhav, appealed to citizens to follow the diversions, cooperate with traffic personnel, and plan their travel accordingly.
