'Pune Is F*ucked Up': Netizens React As Video Of Traffic Chaos At KK Market Chowk In Katraj Goes Viral

From signal jumping and riding without helmets to drunk driving and speeding recklessly, traffic violations in Pune have become rampant, often without any fear of cops. A recent video that has gone viral on social media from KK Market Chowk in Katraj captures the extent of the traffic chaos in the city. In just one video, multiple infractions can be seen, including triple-seat riding, wrong-side driving, speaking on the phone while driving, and more.

An X (formerly Twitter) user shared the video and wrote, "Welcome to Pune 'Smart' city. A place where no traffic rules are followed and things like wrong-side driving, triple-seat riding, and breaking traffic signals are normalised without any penalties. Location - KK Market Chowk, Katraj."

Meanwhile, netizens slammed the traffic management in the city and demanded strict penalties for the violations.

"Same situation everywhere in Pune. If you stop at a red light, people behind you honk as if you've committed a crime. Absolute lawlessness in terms of traffic in Pune. The city has gone to the dogs, unfortunately, and there's no coming back," a user commented.

"Pune is worse than villages. Went to Gurgaon and they have much better driving sense than Pune village. Yes, even the cow belt and the north have better driving sense than Pune," another user stated.

"Unless strict zero-tolerance fines on violations are enforced, nothing will change. Fine, fine, fine until it is fine. Police must enhance monitoring and go after every single violator—big, small, everything and everyone. To clean up this mess, extraordinary intent and actions are required," a third user suggested.

"Pune is losing the charm of a pensioners' paradise. Now, living is not comfortable in Pune due to the erratic traffic, bad road conditions, abnormal climate, and improper infrastructure, which are causing problems for the common people," a fourth user emphasised.
