Some messages also claimed that the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) had introduced austerity measures such as mandatory carpooling, restrictions on official vehicle usage, and compulsory public transport usage for civic staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These messages spread rapidly across WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and local community groups, creating uncertainty among citizens about whether Pune was heading into another lockdown-like situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pune Police\u2019s Official Clarification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar reportedly confirmed that there is no curfew or citywide movement restriction currently in place. Authorities emphasized that people are free to move across the city without any additional permissions or passes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police officials urged residents not to believe or circulate unverified information and advised citizens to rely only on official government announcements for updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Restrictions Actually Exist?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While there is no curfew, Pune Police have intensified action against certain late-night activities and businesses violating operational norms. Authorities are specifically targeting illegal eateries, roadside stalls, paan shops, hawkers, and food vendors operating beyond permitted timings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to reports, enforcement drives are being conducted in busy areas such as FC Road, JM Road, Baner, Kothrud, Kondhwa, Katraj, and Karve Road, where some establishments were allegedly operating until early morning hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Police clarified that licensed restaurants, pubs, and bars can continue operating according to their approved timings, while action is being taken only against unauthorized operations and public nuisance activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conflicting Reports Added To Confusion<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The situation became more confusing after some reports described the restrictions as \u201ccurfew-like\u201d or linked them to preventive Section 144-style prohibitory orders. Certain regional reports even incorrectly suggested Covid-related restrictions and closure of schools and colleges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Pune Police have categorically denied any lockdown or blanket curfew announcement and reiterated that normal public life continues across the city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Citizens Advised To Verify Information<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Authorities are urging Pune residents to avoid forwarding misleading messages and to verify news through official police and government communication channels. The incident once again highlights how quickly misinformation can spread online and create unnecessary panic among the public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pune Police have clarified that no curfew or lockdown has been imposed in the city despite widespread viral rumours on social media. Citizens are free to move normally, while authorities are only enforcing existing rules against illegal late-night vendors and unauthorized activities. Police have urged residents to avoid spreading unverified information and rely on official updates only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pune Police have officially clarified that no curfew has been imposed in the city, dismissing widespread rumours circulating across social media platforms and some media reports.
