Hello LG friends,
On February 4, 2024, @TusharSuradkar hosted this meet-up at PCMC Science Park, Pune as a combination meet-and-greet and accessibility check, which was originally scheduled for January 26. This is my recap of the same.
Seven local guides from Puneri were present. An hour later, we arranged a virtual call meet-up, and nearly eight of them joined from across India. Around 4:30 PM, @abhishekpatk , @Abhi_Pune @NERKARAMIT his daughter, and I arrived; Tushar, @karan_lalpotu , and (Kalpesh Jain) @KJ22999 were already there. Karan and Abhijit were attending for the first time.

For each of our individual vehicles, we paid for both entry and parking. They have large areas designated for two- and four-wheelers, as well as some portions for wheelchairs, respectively.
