Bhide Bridge in Pune goes underwater following Khadakwasla dam discharge
Following intense rainfall in the catchment zone, the Khadakwasla Dam began releasing 27,203 cusecs of water on Wednesday, which led to the submergence of Pune's Bhide Bridge. Authorities gradually stepped up the discharge, starting from an initial 850 cusecs. Floodwaters also reached residential areas in low-lying spots like Vitthal Nagar, Ekta Nagar, and Bhim Nagar, with footage from the Sinhagad Road vicinity being widely shared across social media platforms.
