Pune city and surrounding areas, including Pimpri Chinchwad, Bhor, and Velhe, have shut schools today due to heavy rains. Collector Suhas Diwase issued the order following a red alert from the India Meteorological Department. Heavy showers have increased water discharge from the Khadakwasla dam to 40,000 cusecs, risking waterlogging in low-lying areas. The shutdown affects Pune city, Pimpri Chinchwad, Maval, Mulshi, and Khadakwasla. Authorities have taken precautions to ensure public safety, advising residents to stay indoors and avoid travel unless necessary.
