The incident occurred amid heavy rainfall that has been battering the Maval and Pimpri-Chinchwad areas for the past few hours. The water level in the Pavana River has risen, contributing to several incidents of falling trees across the city. Between 7 a.m. and 2:45 p.m. on Wednesday, there were eight reports of trees falling, leading to vehicle damage and traffic snarls. One of these incidents also resulted in a fire.
The continuous rain has disrupted daily life in Pimpri-Chinchwad and Maval. In Lonavala, rainfall has reached 275 mm, the highest recorded this year. This heavy rain has led to waterlogging on several roads, including those near Nangargaon Adarsh Society and Shahani Holiday Home. The increased water level in the Indrayani River has also been noted.
