As the continuous downpour continues, flood-hit areas of Maharashtra face more disruption and damage. Many rivers are flowing above the danger mark, adding to the crisis in Marathwada and Solapur, which have received excessive rainfall over the last few days.
On Sunday, Nashik and part of northern Maharashtra were badly affected as rainfall threw normal life out of gear and damaged standing crops. The chief minister interacted with district collectors of Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, Beed, Jalna, Latur, Hingoli, Nanded, Parbhani, Darashiv and Hingoli (all from Marathwada district). Besides these district officials, he interacted with the Solapur administration.
“Do not point fingers at any rule book. Ensure that sarsakhat (across the board) panchanama of the damages is done,” Fadnavis said.
The chief minister even instructed district collectors to stay on the ground to speed up rescue and relief work for stranded people and those shifted to safer places.
“Make sure that people in relief camps get proper food, drinking water and medical help. Also, the arrangements for fodder supply should be made immediately,” Fadnavis directed.
Meanwhile, water resources minister Girish Mahajan visited the Jayakwadi dam site and monitored the release of water from the dam. He also oversaw the shifting of people from nearby villages to safer places and shelter homes.
