Pune Rain: Viral Footage Captures Woman Trapped In Car Amidst Flood Chaos
On Saturday evening, Maharashtra's Pune experienced torrential rainfall, leading to flood-like conditions in multiple city areas. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) reported an intense rainfall of 101.7 mm in under five hours. Amid numerous alarming social media posts, a video surfaced online depicting a woman attempting to exit her submerged vehicle in a waterlogged zone.
Captured from what appears to be a balcony, the footage shows the woman attempting to exit her vehicle through the window, but her efforts prove futile. Moments later, Pune city traffic personnel, identifiable by their yellow raincoats, approach the scene to aid her. Sharing the video, the handle @punekarnews commented, “A woman driver found herself in a difficult situation as she struggled to get out of her car In Viman Nagar. Quick response from @PuneCityTraffic personnel, she was promptly rescued.”
The video garnered over 13,000 views, eliciting varied reactions from users. One commenter suggested, “Stop taking road tax in #pune and start water tax on registration of vehicles better option.” Another praised the commendable rescue efforts of the policemen, stating, “Amazing rescue work done by the policemen, they are to be complimented for the meritorious work.”
The heavy rainfall in Pune brought along gusty winds, resulting in numerous trees collapsing. Tragically, a man lost his life when a tree struck him while he was walking along a street in the Upper Ota area of Pune. This incident was reported by The Indian Express, emphasizing the severity of the situation as the city grappled with the relentless downpour.
