Intense spell of unseasonal rain caused chaos at the Pune International Airport on Monday evening, with waterlogging reported near the airport’s exit gate, creating significant inconvenience for travelers and airport staff.

In just about an hour of rainfall, heavy water accumulation was witnessed near the main exit area, where a drainage chamber reportedly overflowed, resulting in blocked passages and slowed movement. Photos from the scene show flooded walkways and pooling water, raising concerns about the airport’s preparedness for monsoon-like conditions, especially during the peak evening hours when thousands of passengers commute through the facility.

Despite repeated warnings and past instances of waterlogging, essential areas such as the airport continue to remain vulnerable during heavy showers. With the monsoon season approaching, civic authorities and airport management may need to urgently address drainage and flood preparedness to avoid similar disruptions in the coming months.

This incident once again highlights Pune’s poor drainage infrastructure, particularly in key public zones like the airport.
