Flooding in Pune

It was another flooded evening for Pune. Flow of people heading homewards in the evening was restricted over a few clear bridges and nudged through various traffic-jams on the way.

The broad Mula crossover through Aundh over Rajiv Gandhi bridge was blocked as water flooded its city-side ramp; causing all traffic to divert to the neighbouring secondary bridge. I found a page by Salil giving a short treatise on names of the two bridges i talk about here.

As the Mula raged with higher water-levels, traffic logjammed over the narrow relatively-older bridge that was not blocked; moving much slower than the racing water under it.

People persisted in the traffic flow with determination as the evening drew to a close while Mula rushed on its way to the Samgam.
