Back in #Pune, a day after police firing and violence in Maval, killing three persons, the situation is peaceful and under control. A magisterial inquiry has been ordered into the firing in which three farmers were killed and one seriously injured, District collector Vikas Deshmukh said.

He clarified that the figure of dead in the police firing so far was three and not four as reported earlier and one of the seriously injured was being treated at a hospital at Talegaon.

Deshmukh said about 50 police personnel including 10 officers too were injured in the stone pelting in the farmers' protest on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, against a closed pipeline project on the Pavna dam to facilitate water supply to the industrial township of Pimpri-Chinchwad.
