PIMPRI: Many parts of Pimpri Chinchwad were affected by the flood-like situation on the second day on Monday as the city continued to experience incessant rains and increased levels of rivers due to discharge of water from dams.

The municipal corporation also made food arrangements for these displaced people. Altogether 725 persons belonging to 184 affected families have been offered temporary shelter at the PCMC-run Ahilyadevi Holkar School.
