Chief Minister Eknath Shinde arrives in Pune, many citizens raise complaints in Sangvi

Pune: Chief Minister Eknath Shinde is visiting the city and suburbs to survey flood-affected areas.

Rainfall has not lessened in the past few days. Water has been released into rivers, which has resulted in floods in low-lying areas. Though the administration is helping citizens, they suffered heavy damages in the floods.

CM Shinde met citizens to know their problems. He interacted with flood-affected people at the Punyashlok Ahilyadevi Municipal School in Sangvi. Citizens presented their issues before the Chief Minister.

Following a continuous discharge from the Pavana Dam, societies along the Pavana, Mula and Indrayani rivers were flooded. The civic body surveyed the areas and shifted residents from the risky areas to their relatives’ houses and to temporary shelters.
