Ganesh Redij spent two days in his flooded shop in Chiplun without food or drinking water. As rain poured, he went to his grocery shop on Wednesday to put his stock on the upper floor, but by the time he was done, water level had started increasing. He stayed back, but by next morning, he found himself in neck-deep floodwater. 

Redij's shop is located in the Bazarpeth area of Chiplun, where 149 people were killed in a flood and 64 others are still missing. The floodwater started rising rapidly in the city, as Shiv and Vashishti rivers began overflowing following intense rainfall.
