The College going students reached their destinations late and the office workers started their work late as well.

On the other hand, the citizens living in Bhosari were trapped in traffic for half an hour because of a collision between an auto rickshaw and an Asiad ST bus which was travelling from Shirdi to Pune. An auto rickshaw’s mirror was smashed due to the collision of ST. In order to take revenge, the auto-rickshaw driver followed the bus and later stopped the bus half-way.

The fight between both continued for a long time and a mess was created on the road, blocking the road. Hence, the passengers faced a lot of trouble.

The bus driver apologized, but the rickshaw driver was not ready to stop fighting and demanded compensation for his loss. The fight settled down on getting 70 rupees by the bus driver to the rickshaw driver.
