Recent incidents have raised safety concerns for tourists in Pune, prompting the District Collector to implement strict measures across popular destinations.
Prohibitory orders under Article 144 are now in effect at various tourist spots, including forts, dams, lakes, and waterfalls, in eight talukas.
This decision comes after incidents at Bhushi Dam and Plus Valley, leading authorities to ban gatherings of five or more people at these locations.
