Its been pouring since three days in Nagpur making all chaos in the city. Just today in the early hours today, a massive tree fell near Alex Hospital, completely blocking the road.

Meanwhile, in Mangaldip Nagar, flooded streets and stranded locals have once again exposed the city’s fragile stormwater management system. Visuals from the area reveal extensive waterlogging, underscoring the urgent need for infrastructure improvements. Various media groups have updated on social media:
