The vehicle was seen struggling as it became increasingly submerged in the muddy water, with nearly half of it covered. The visibility was severely compromised, making it difficult for the driver to detect the large pit. A video of the incident shows local residents urgently alerting the driver about the impending danger, yelling for him to open the car door and evacuate the occupants before the car was swept further into the pit.
Local resident Yogesh, known as Bhau Bhosale, played a crucial role in rescuing the stranded individuals. His prompt and brave intervention ensured that both the elderly person and their son were safely removed from the vehicle. The car had been stuck for a prolonged period, and it was only through the collective efforts of nearby residents that the situation was brought under control.
The recent heavy rains in Pune have exposed significant issues in town planning and drainage management, leading to widespread waterlogging. This has caused schools in the region to close and disrupted local businesses. The incident underscores the urgent need for improved urban planning and effective drainage solutions to address the recurring problem of urban flooding. In these challenging times, the community’s vigilance and mutual support have been commendable.
