With parts of Maharashtra under deluge and waiting for further action in terms of rescue apparatus and planning of relief measures, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis will take a break from his state-wide Maha Janadesh Yatra today to preside over a Cabinet meeting in this regard.

The state government's disaster management and relief department will get special directives from the CM who has been in touch with ministers and bureaucrats while touring the interior parts of Vidarbha. On Tuesday, he discussed the natural calamity in the districts of Kolhapur, Sangli, Pune and Mumbai Metropolitan Region (Thane and Palghar districts) with defence minister Rajnath Singh. He sought more NDRF and aviation teams from the air force, navy and coast guards, and army personnel for rescue operations.
