The department plans to implement the integrated traffic management system (ITMS) on the highway stretch and will forward the report to the state transport department after inspecting the road.

Four persons, including a minor, were charred to death after a truck carrying ground flour collided with two vehicles and caught fire near Navale Bridge Swami Narayan Temple on the Pune-Mumbai highway on Monday.

Bhor said, “We have been implementing road safety measures on this stretch along with other governing agencies since last three years. Yesterday’s accident was unfortunate, but our team inspected the spot to find the cause of mishap. Our report will be submitted to the state transport department. We are in discussion to implement the ITMS system on this stretch to curb accidents.”
