Fire brigade officials rescued 23 people who were stranded on the water-logged streets of Pune on Tuesday, after heavy rains lashed the city. A private company bus with 23 employees got stuck at the Lohegoan check post area after the streets were flooded.

Sopan Pawar, a fire brigade official, said, "We received a call around 6.40 am and rushed to the spot, but people in the bus were not ready to get out, despite repeated requests. We later brought a tractor tow and rescued them."
