Pimpri-Nigdi Metro Work: Historic Bus Stand Removal Sparks PMP-Police Standoff

• Pimpri to Nigdi Metro work nearing completion, but a major bus stand faces removal.
• Nigdi Traffic Department demands relocation of Lokmanya Tilak Chowk bus stand due to congestion.
• PMP administration strongly opposes the move, citing technical infeasibility and passenger inconvenience.
• Removal would force 2 lakh daily commuters, including students and seniors, to walk 3 km further.
• The bus stand, operational since 1982, serves various routes, and its removal would increase travel time and costs.
