In Pune, three of the NDRF rescue groups are working at Ekta Nagar, Singed Road, and Verjee areas. Some places water is up to waist deep. The Baba Bide on the Mutha river had collapsed, and currently the bridge is submerged in water due to a rise in water level after the rains.
For this purpose, the Deputy Chief Minister of the state, Ajith Pawar, has reviewed the situation and called upon the district administration to be on his toes.
The collectorate of Pune, Ushas Iwase conducted a mass shutdown of the tourist destination for two days. He has also said traffic movement will be prohibited on bridges likely to be submerged.
