Pimpri-Chinchwad city experienced heavy rainfall on Saturday and Sunday. The combination of intense rain and dam discharge led to flooding in the Pavana, Indrayani, and Mula rivers flowing through the city. This caused water to accumulate in housing societies, homes, and low-lying areas along the riverbanks. Approximately a thousand citizens were relocated to shelter centers and relatives’ homes due to the flooding. Chief Minister Eknath Shinde reviewed the flood situation in Sangvi.
