With heavy rain in the city, water entered several surrounding localities and housing societies in low-lying areas along the Mutha River on Thursday.
Water released from the Khadakwasla dam, which supplies drinking water to the city, worsened the situation for such areas.
'As the water level of Khadakwasla Dam is rising due to heavy rainfall in the catchment area, water is being released. The water discharge increased to 4,300 cusecs at 4 pm," an irrigation department official said on Thursday.
Videos shared on X showed waterlogged roads, causing a problem for the locals.
