PUNE: A 50-year-old former sarpanch, Rangubai Kale, died in a kitchen shed collapse at Jawale village in Ambegaon tehsil on Monday afternoon, following incessant downpour in the area. The heavy rainfall, which began on Sunday night, also triggered rockfalls in the Varandha and Pokhri ghat sections in Bhor and Ambegaon tehsils, respectively, disrupting traffic movement.
“As per the government rules and procedure, we have done a revenue panchanama and Kale’s family will get a Rs4 lakh compensation,” Ambegaon’s tehsildar Ruma Joshi said.
