The torrential downpour that began on Wednesday (July 24) night and continued throughout Thursday (July 25) led to widespread flooding. Large water discharges into the Mutha River caused inundation in several societies along Sinhagad Road.

Various parts of the city and surrounding rural areas were severely impacted, with landslides forcing the closure of seven highways. The calamity has claimed four lives in the city and district.

With the rains easing on Friday (July 26), the district administration has initiated the assessment of damages.
