Pune Left Severely Waterlogged After Incessant Rainfall | VIDEO

Pune: The people in Maharashtra’s Pune on Sunday witnessed severe waterlogging in several parts of the city after heavy rain lashed the city. Several streets were undated in rainwater leading to massive vehicular jams in various parts of the city. Several visuals also surfaced on social media, wherein submerged roads and streets were clearly seen. 

The residents experienced severe waterlogging in Pune just two weeks after major flooding and waterlogging crippled the city. The waterlogging was accompanied by traffic snarls as several vehicles broke down on the waterlogged streets. The people were seen evacuating their vehicles on flooded streets in one such visual, which surfaced from BT Kawade Road on social media.

Heavy rain lashed Pune, and within an hour, water accumulated in many parts of the city, with knee-deep water in several areas. Ghorpadi, Sopan Bagh, BT Kavade, and Rerwada have experienced heavy downpours, resulting in flooded roads and two-wheelers and rickshaws coming to a standstill.

Just an hour of rain has caused significant disruption for Pune residents. The Chandannagar and Kharadi areas have been particularly hard-hit. A tree has fallen in front of Ghorpadi village, leading to a massive traffic jam. People across Pune are suffering due to the rain, with traffic jams reported in many areas. Flooding has occurred in Taradutt and Shivdutt Colony, with water entering several houses.

After ten days of dry weather, Pune experienced heavy rain yesterday for one to one and a half hours. Today, it has rained heavily once again, causing concern among Pune residents. The working class, returning home after finishing work, has been particularly affected. Many have found themselves stuck in traffic as vehicles are left stranded due to the waterlogged roads. Heavy rain continues in the Sinhagad Road area.

The IMD has predicted more rainfall in the city and adjoining areas in days to come.
