As per reports, the residential society had covered an old well with reinforced concrete to use it as parking space. The concrete washed away due to the rain which resulted in the car sinking in the well, and drowning completely.
No casualties have been reported so far.
The residents were reportedly not aware of the presence of the well, and questions have been raised over the BMC and local authorities failing to prevent the society from covering up the well in such a manner.

Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
