Pimpri-Chinchwad Alerts Citizens as River Levels Rise
The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has asked people living near the Pavana, Mula, and Indrayani rivers to be careful because the water levels are rising.
This is happening because of heavy rain and water being released from dams.
The Pavana Dam is almost full, and a lot of water was let out into the river.
The PCMC has all its emergency systems ready to handle any problems caused by the rain and rising water.
Water levels in Pavana, Mula, and Indrayani rivers rose due to dam discharge and continuous rain.
PCMC urged citizens living on riverbanks to stay alert.
All emergency machinery and systems were activated.
Pavana Dam was 97% full, discharging 7,000 cusecs of water at 8:00 pm.
Heavy rains lashed Pimpri-Chinchwad for several hours on Friday.
