Heavy Rains Cause Flooding in Pune Following Increased Khadakwasla Dam Discharge
Heavy rainfall in Pune led to increased discharge from Khadakwasla Dam, causing widespread flooding and waterlogging across the city, especially in low-lying areas like Ekta Nagar. The Mutha River overflowed, submerging roads and disrupting traffic, with authorities issuing a Red Alert and urging residents to stay cautious. Emergency teams managed evacuations and power supply was temporarily cut in some areas to prevent hazards. Similar water releases occurred from Radhanagari Dam in Kolhapur, affecting multiple rivers and reservoirs in the region.
