Pune Floods: Heavy Rain, Dam Discharge Cause Widespread Waterlogging
Pune, a city in India, got hit by very heavy rain on Friday.
The rain made the water from a nearby dam, Khadakwasla, flow faster, which caused big floods.
Roads turned into streams and even a bridge called Bhide Bridge was underwater, so cars couldn't cross.
The power company, MSEDCL, turned off electricity in some areas to keep people safe.
Police and rescue teams helped people stay out of the flooded places and tried to fix the power.
The city officials told everyone to stay away from rivers and flooded roads because the rain was still coming.
They kept watching the situation to help if more trouble happened.
Relentless rainfall and Khadakwasla Dam discharge triggered flooding across Pune on Friday.
Major roads, including Bhide Bridge, turned into streams; traffic halted.
MSEDCL cut power to seven transformers to prevent hazards; restoration underway.
Emergency teams deployed to regulate traffic, assist residents, and monitor situation.
Authorities warned residents to stay away from rivers, submerged bridges, and waterlogged roads.
