Pune: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Shares Video Highlighting Poor Road Conditions in Hinjawadi
Roads in Pune have deteriorated heavily following the recent heavy rains, with many major routes dotted with potholes. This has created hazardous conditions for commuters and is causing severe traffic jams during peak hours across the city.
Witnessing it firsthand, filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri on Sunday shared a video on X (formerly Twitter) highlighting the poor condition of a road in the Hinjawadi area.
“This is Pune’s Hinjawadi—India’s top IT centre. Three lakh top IT engineers reach here every day to work in 200 top IT companies, generating software exports worth ₹1,60,700 crore and showcasing India’s IT prowess to the world,” he wrote.

Reacting to the post, several X users commented on Agnihotri’s post demanding immediate repair of the roads not just in Hinjawadi but everywhere else in Pune.
One user wrote, “Not only Hinjawadi, but all areas of Pune city are filled with potholes. Not a single road in Pune is free from them.”
“Despite so much potential, this is how India lets itself down time and again. High time some accountability is fixed. Terrible,” said another user.
