16 feared trapped under collapsed garbage mound : Rescue operation underway amid heavy rains

PTI, July 8, 2026, Mumbai : Heavy monsoon rains continued to batter Maharashtra on Wednesday, triggering flash floods and widespread disruption to rail and road traffic, with 16 people feared trapped under a collapsed garbage mound in Pune's Pimpri Chinchwad.

The incident occurred after a huge mound of garbage crashed onto a three-storey building, causing it to collapse, a senior official said.

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, he said.

The water level in the Godavari River has increased amid incessant rains in Maharashtra's Nashik district, while landslides and road closures have also been reported.

The district administration has urged people living on the banks of the Godavari, Kadva and Girna rivers to shift their valuables, livestock and other material to safer places amid the discharge of water from various reservoirs, including Palkhed and Nandur Madhmeshwar Weir.
