Pune Rains: Flood-Like Situation Across City As Heavy Rain Causes Massive Waterlogging, Disrupts Traffic

Heavy rain and increased discharge from Khadakwasla Dam caused severe waterlogging and flooding in Pune on Friday.

Bhide Bridge was shut after the Mutha River submerged it; parked cars near Pune Municipal Corporation headquarters were partially submerged.

Rising water flooded Ekta Nagari in Hingne under Peshwe Park Subdivision after dam discharge increased around 2 pm.

MSEDCL disconnected power to seven transformers in Pooja Park, Sharad Sarovar, Anand Park, Kudale Patil, Radha Krishna Residency, Dwarka, and Gayatri Apartment to prevent electrical hazards.

Restoration work began; power was restored to three transformers, but heavy rain disrupted traffic and affected residential and commercial areas.
