Tree Collapses onto Two Parked Autorickshaws in Shahpur Jat

City crews cleared the wreckage after the fall highlighted pressure on roads and services during heavy monsoon rain under an IMD red alert.

Overview

A large tree toppled onto two parked autorickshaws in Shahpur Jat around 1 pm after heavy rain, with both drivers away for lunch and unharmed.
Local police, traffic personnel and the horticulture department reached the scene and began removing the tree to reopen the road.
Traffic on August Kranti Marg was disrupted for a time and vehicles were diverted while crews cleared the debris.
One driver estimated repair costs at about Rs 2,000 to Rs 3,000, reflecting a small direct economic hit and lost work time for informal transport operators.
The incident took place during intense monsoon showers that caused waterlogging and flooding across the city and underscored how falling trees and slow clearances add to wider mobility and safety risks.
