In Pune, even though dams are holding good amounts of water, many neighbourhoods are experiencing irregular water supply and low pressure. Areas like Kondhwa, Hadapsar, Lohegaon, and those along Nagar Road are particularly affected. People are depending on water tankers in some places because pipelines don’t deliver enough. The Pune Municipal Corporation has acknowledged that old pipelines, uneven distribution and the topography (some areas are at higher elevation) are causing problems. For citizens, this means daily life is disrupted — basic things like cooking, bathing, cleaning become difficult when the flow is unpredictable. With the festive season coming, demand increases, so the pressure (literally and figuratively) is higher. Also, concerns about water quality are rising: some people report foul smells and worry about waterborne diseases. For many, this is both an inconvenience and a health risk. #PuneWaterCrisis #UrbanInfrastructure #WaterSupplyIssues #PublicHealth #CivicChallenges #DailyLifeImpact #WaterManagement #CityUpdates #NewsOne
In response to severe flooding caused by heavy overnight rains on September 23, 2025, the West Bengal government has declared early Durga Puja holidays for all schools in Kolkata. Education Minister Bratya Basu announced that all government-run educational institutions will remain closed on September 24 and 25 to ensure student safety amid waterlogged roads and prevent accidents. Teachers have been instructed to work from home during this period. The torrential rains, among the heaviest in nearly four decades, have led to widespread waterlogging, disrupting daily life and public transport. At least eight individuals have died due to electrocution from submerged electrical installations. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a weather alert, predicting continued heavy rainfall and thunderstorms across southern West Bengal, including Kolkata, until September 26. #news #Newsone #KolkataNews #HeavyRain #SchoolClosure #WeatherAlert #CityUpdates #PublicSafety #RainImpact #EducationNews
