Three tourists have been washed away in the waterfalls of the Tamhini sanctuary.
Five people were swept away at Bhushi Dam.
Shirole also mentioned a young woman who went missing five days ago at Harishchandra Fort.
Other places like Sinhagad, Sandan Valley, and Harihargad are also seeing big crowds.
Shirole said that to prevent accidents, we need to control the crowds at these spots.
Even though the waterfalls in Mulshi, Lonavala, and Tamhini have not fully opened yet, many people are visiting these areas.
Shirole brought up these concerns in the Assembly and asked for immediate action.
