Gurugram Witnesses Heavy Downpours:
Heavy monsoon rains lashed several parts of the country on Wednesday, triggering flash floods and widespread disruption to rail and road traffic, with 11 people feared trapped under a collapsed garbage mound in Maharashtra’s Pimpri Chinchwad and several parts of Mumbai reeling under waterlogging. Union Home Minister Amit Shah dialed the chief ministers of Kerala, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Jammu and Kashmir to take stock of the situation arising from heavy rains there and assured them of all possible assistance from the Centre, officials said.
The calls come after the debris collapse in Kerala’s Wayanad, flash floods in Jammu’s Doda, and deadly incidents and major disruptions reported from Maharashtra and Gujarat on Tuesday. In Pune district’s Pimpri Chinchwad, a huge mound of garbage crashed onto a three-storey building, causing it to collapse. The incident occurred at Moshi, where the building was being used as an administrative office of a private company processing waste at the site on behalf of the civic body.
