Footage shows the flooded road where three men were electrocuted and killed while trying to retrieve a handcart from the deluge.

Street vendors Abhishek Ghanekar, Akash Mane, and Shiva Parihar attempted to pull the hand trolley out of the muddy waters but suffered electric shocks in the Deccan Gymkhana area in Pune, Maharashtra, India, on June 25.

The raging torrents are seen in the video engulfing the highway, with an electric post uprooted on the side of the road.

Subways, schools, and other roadways are closed due to the severe flooding caused by the heavy rain the region has been experiencing.

According to the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation, the Vihar Lake and Modak Sagar Lake, two of the seven lakes that supply water to the city, have started overflowing.

Pune collector, Dr Suhas Diwase, has issued a mandate for a 48-hour closure of all tourist attractions in the area to ensure public safety during the downpours.
