Pune's grandest festival, Ganeshotsav, is set to commence tomorrow with immense enthusiasm. Families will joyfully welcome Lord Ganesha into their homes, chanting 'Ganpati Bappa Morya, Mangalmurti Morya,' and placing beautifully adorned idols within their decorative "makhars." Concurrently, the city's prominent mandals will orchestrate grand processions, accompanied by traditional dhol-tasha troupes, contributing to the festive ambience.
In anticipation of the Ganeshotsav festival, the Pune Metro authorities have unveiled plans to extend passenger services to accommodate the surge in commuters. Starting from September 22 and continuing until the 27, the metro's operating hours will be extended by an additional 2 hours (6 am to 12 midnight).
Furthermore, in celebration of Anant Chaturdashi on September 28, the Pune Metro will further extend its services by an additional 4 hours (6 am to 2 am). This initiative aims to ensure convenient transportation for passengers participating in the festive revelries, allowing them to celebrate with ease and comfort.
