Hey there, Pune folks! It’s important to stay alert today as the Khadakwasla Dam is reaching 88% of its capacity. With heavy rains in the catchment areas, water has been flowing into the Mutha River since midnight. The Khadakwasla irrigation department is advising the PMC and Police Administration to keep a close eye on the situation.
An alert issued this morning urges citizens to steer clear of the riverbed and move any belongings or pets from the area. Residents in low-lying areas should take precautions and stay vigilant.
As of 7:00 AM, the discharge from the Khadakwasla Dam into the Mutha River basin has been increased to 9,416 cusecs, nearly double the previous rate. Authorities may adjust the discharge rate further depending on rainfall and inflow levels.
Keep in mind that discharge rates could change with the weather, so stay tuned for updates as the situation progresses. Stay safe, Pune!
