Somewhere in Pune....



The swirling waters of the Mutha river, as seen from the bridge near Balgandharva Rangmandir, took centrestage on Saturday, after heavy discharge of water from the Khadakwasla dam. The swollen Mutha, which otherwise looks like a canal, inundated many areas. Life was thrown out of gear in the city, which recorded 69.1mm rainfall till 8.30pm. Several areas were waterlogged. Morning flights were delayed due to poor visibility. The dams, however, presented a positive picture. “After a gap of two years, the collective water storage of the four dams that supply water to Pune has reached the maximum level,” said an official.
