Tourists stuck at Sinhagad fort as protestors stop e-buses
Hindustan TimesSeveral tourists who visited Sinhagad fort on Sunday had to wait for a longer duration in the evening hours to return home as e-buses were not plying for three hours. The buses were stuck as many local private vehicle owners from Donje village were angry with the decision to ban private vehicles that led to the agitation at the Sinhagad fort. The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal Limited spokesperson said, “Many visitors at the Sinhagad fort were stuck from early afternoon till late evening hours on Sunday due to an agitation by private vehicle owners who have been banned now from transporting passengers.” According to the spokesperson, the agitation was led by an organisation called Shiv Premi Sanghatna. With the number of visitors increasing due to the weekend, the same led to visitors stranded for hours both at the fort and down near the parking lot,” added a PMPML spokesperson.
