Shiv Sena MLA from Chiplun, Sadanand Chavan, found himself in the dock following Tiware Dam breach and subsequent flooding of the neighbouring villages that killed several people on Tuesday. The Opposition demanded that Chavan, whose company built the dam, and water resources minister Girish Mahajan be booked for mass murder.

The Opposition accused the state government of ignoring the complaints seeking urgent repair of the wall that caved in following heavy rainfall.
