Eight dead amid torrential rains in Maharashtra
Maharashtra's been hit hard by intense rain and lightning, leading to eight deaths across the state. With a red alert out for Ratnagiri and Raigad, and an orange alert for several other districts, officials are urging everyone to stay cautious. Disaster response teams are already on standby in the most at-risk areas.
TL;DR
Several districts on orange alert
Ratnagiri saw 88mm of rain in just one day, with Raigad and Sindhudurg not far behind. Alongside the fatalities reported from cities like Mumbai and Nashik, 10 more people have been injured. Rising river levels—like the Jagbudi River in Ratnagiri—are putting nearby villages at risk, so local teams are keeping a close watch to keep people safe.
