Monsoon Tree Collapses Injure Five in Pimpri-Chinchwad: Civic Authorities Warn of Risks

Pimpri-Chinchwad, 20th May 2025: The recent heavy rains in Pune have led to two separate tree-fall incidents, leaving five people injured. The first incident occurred on Sunday night in Dapodi’s Limbore Wasti, while the second took place on Monday afternoon in Akurdi. All injured individuals are currently receiving medical treatment at local hospitals.

The first incident happened around 10:45 pm on Sunday when a large peepal tree collapsed onto a house in Limbore Wasti, Dapodi. The residence, made of cement and tin sheets, was occupied by the Samudre family. Three members of the family—Shraddha Sunil Samudre (12), Paru Sunil Samudre (35), and Sunil Samudre (40)—sustained injuries after tree branches broke through the roofing material and fell inside. Local residents quickly responded and rushed the injured to the hospital.

The second incident occurred on Monday around 2:30 pm near the Akurdi vegetable market. Aman Khan (22), a resident of Walhekarwadi in Chinchwad, and Sahil Khan (24), from Panchtaranagar in Akurdi, were sitting and chatting on a parked two-wheeler under a decaying tree when it suddenly collapsed on them. Both men were injured and were rescued by bystanders who cleared the branches to free them.

The fallen tree also obstructed traffic in the area. Firefighters arrived promptly, cut the branches, and cleared the road, restoring normal traffic flow.

These incidents highlight the growing risk of tree falls during monsoon season, particularly in areas with aging or weakened trees. Civic authorities have urged citizens to remain cautious and report unstable trees to prevent further accidents. The Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) has been working to identify and remove such trees to ensure public safety. Citizens are advised to stay alert and report any signs of unstable trees to the local authorities immediately.

In addition to these efforts, the PCMC has launched a campaign to educate residents about the importance of tree maintenance and the risks associated with neglected trees during the monsoon season. The campaign includes awareness drives, free tree inspection services, and emergency response teams to handle such incidents promptly.

For more information on how to report unstable trees or to learn more about the PCMC’s initiatives, residents can visit the official PCMC website or contact the local municipal office. Together, the community and civic authorities aim to make Pimpri-Chinchwad a safer place during the monsoon season.
