Pune's Hinjewadi IT Park Turns Into 'Wave Pool' After Heavy Rains, Video Goes Viral
Pune received more than 150 mm of rainfall on Saturday. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a 'yellow' alert for heavy rainfall for Sunday.
Relentless downpour in Pune on Saturday transformed Hinjewadi IT Park into a virtual wave pool, bringing traffic to a grinding halt. Vehicles queued up as commuters struggled to navigate the flooded roads.
In a viral video, a bus can be seen which is partially submerged in the floodwater, moving slowly as the water forms waves. Another AC bus of the Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) can be seen half under the floodwater.
'Due to heavy rains, a large amount of water has accumulated near Ryan International School and many other areas in the Hinjewadi Phase 2 area. It is doubtful whether there is a system for draining water in this area. Works like cleaning the drains here need to be done on time. But these works do not seem to be done on time. MIDC needs to pay immediate attention to this matter and take long-term measures to prevent water accumulation here in the future and inconvenience the citizens," she wrote on X.
