Dense Fog, Heavy Rains Lash Lonavala; Visuals Of The Flooded Hill Station Go Viral

Rain has been lashing ceaselessly in Maharashtra, especially in Mumbai and Pune and their surrounding areas. Khandala and Lonavala, two extremely popular hill stations near the two cities, have also been flooded. All over social media, people have shared scary visuals of the flood and the fog currently plaguing the regions. Here are all of the important details that you would need to know about the flood at the two hill stations.

Dense Fog, Heavy Rains Lash Lonavala; Hill Station Flooded

According to an article which was recently published by the Pune Pulse, heavy rains have been lashing in Lonavala for more than four days now. This has resulted in a flood-like situation in the hill station. Many people have taken to X (formerly known as Twitter) and shared visuals of the floods.

Tiger Point is shrouded with dense fog and many people who shared the video have said that it is dangerous to go there during this time. Hence, extreme caution is recommended and if you can avoid going altogether, that would be the safest option.

Even the Bhushi Dam is very flooded with the flow of the current remaining strong. In the recent past, many people, including entire families, have been carried away by the strong currents. Hence, going there in such inclement weather is certainly not advisable.
