Teenage Boy Drowns at Pandavkada Waterfall in Kharghar Amid Monsoon
A 15-16-year-old boy from Kurla, Pranav Mishra, drowned at Pandavkada Waterfall in Kharghar during the monsoon season, marking the fourth such incident this year. Firefighters rescued him from a rocky crevice about 10-12 feet underwater, but he was declared dead at the hospital.

Authorities have urged the public to avoid unfamiliar waters during monsoon due to sudden changes in water levels and currents.
