Pune and its surrounding districts are experiencing intense rainfall since Wednesday midnight, with conditions worsening significantly since Thursday morning. The city of Pune has been particularly affected, witnessing heavy downpours leading to waterlogging on numerous roads. The torrential rain, accompanied by stormy weather, has left many streets submerged, disrupting normal life.
In a concerning incident at Anand Park in Vadgaon Sheri today morning, a large tree fell on a school van and nearby roads. Fortunately, no injuries have been reported among the occupants of the van or pedestrians. However, significant damage was inflicted upon the vehicles involved.
In response to the adverse weather conditions, authorities have declared a holiday for all schools and colleges across Pune district. This decision also extends to offices and other establishments in Pune City and the Pimpri-Chinchwad area, as directed by District Magistrate Suhas Diwase.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the hazards posed by heavy monsoon rains in urban areas, urging caution among residents and commuters. Efforts are underway to clear the affected roads and ensure the safety of public spaces.
As the monsoon of 2024 arrives, local authorities continue to monitor the situation closely and are prepared to respond to any further challenges posed by the ongoing inclement weather.
