Pune | Sunday | 15th July, 2018

Summary:

Thankfully, he is now doing well.”The Sant Tukaram Maharaj Palkhi started on July 6 from Dehu and halted at Vithhal Mandir in Loni Kalbhor on July 9. The procession was to leave Loni Kalbhor on July 10 and proceed to Yavat. I started walking from Hadapsar around 10 am to reach the hospital after having parked my car at the Hadapsar flyover. Aware that the routes were closed for Palkhi, the hospital looked for alternatives, too, but to no avail.“Due to Palkhi, the entire route was blocked and the procession also had a halt at Loni Kalbhor. Along the way, I was speaking to the hospital staff on the phone and instructing them to stabilise the patient and make pre-operative arrangements..
