Pune civic body criticized for watering plants during heavy downpour
The Pune Municipal Corporation is under fire after footage emerged showing a water tanker irrigating plants on a Paud Road divider while it was raining, especially as the city deals with water shortages. BJP politician Sandeep Khardekar has demanded an explanation from local authorities. In response, an official stated that the elevated Metro bridge blocks the divider from the rain, necessitating the watering.
