RAINS LASH KALYAN AND BHIWANDI

KALYAN:HEAVY rains lashed Kalyan and Bhiwandi on Wednesday, leading to waterlogging, tree collapse and electrocution of three cows. Major waterlogging was reported below Mankoli bridge on Mumbai-nashik highway near Bhiwandi as heavy downpour was reported in Thane and its neighbouring cities since Tuesday night. However, traffic police said there was no disruption of traffic flow due to waterlogging.

“The traffic was smooth compared to other days as fewer vehicles were on the streets on Wednesday. The road parallel to the bridge was waterlogged, hence we deployed traffic cops and wardens at all the points of the stretch to manage the traffic and avoid disruption,” said an officer of Narpoli traffic unit.

Bhiwandi recorded 43mm rainfall while KalyanDombivli received 88.6mm over 24 hours.

Three cows were found electrocuted at Kalyan (East) on Tuesday night.

A total of 11 tree fall cases were reported with Kalyan Dombivli fire department.
