Incessant rain lashed several districts in Maharashtra’s western and Marathwada regions on Sunday, causing flooding in many areas, with six villages in Dharashiv district completely cut off and thousands shifted to relief camps across the region.
In Nanded, 304 people were housed in relief camps, with 120 in Loha.
In Latur, more than 500 people were accommodated in relief camps, while 60 roads and bridges were submerged.
In Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar and Nanded, the water level of the Godavari rose following heavy discharge from the Jayakwadi dam.
Mr. Fadnavis said drinking water and food were being provided in relief camps, adding that ₹2,000 crore had been released as compensation.
