Two days of incessant heavy rainfall have raised alarms of flooding with the city’s five major dams nearing full capacity. The incessant rainfall also disrupted air and road connectivity, causing widespread inconvenience to hundreds of passengers.

On Tuesday, heavy rain lashed Pune and continued throughout the day, leading to severe waterlogging and traffic snarls. The Pune and Pimpri-Chinchwad municipal corporations had made preparations to tackle flood-like situations.

Shekhar Singh, commissioner of the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation, said, “The water discharge from Pavana Dam started in the morning itself. Around 5000 cusecs of water were released in the morning. Necessary arrangements were made to tackle any emergency.”
