The aftermath of torrential rains in Mumbai sees Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis declaring the situation under control, assuring citizens of Mumbai and Maharashtra of continual disaster management efforts.
With NDRF and SDRF teams deployed, the focus remains on managing water discharge from dams and coordinating with neighboring states for optimal flood prevention. Tuesday's heavy downpours caused significant disruptions in Mumbai, submerging low-lying areas and halting train services, although weather conditions improved slightly by Wednesday.
Fadnavis highlights the challenges in aiding affected farmers due to extensive crop damage over 14 lakh hectares, emphasizing the need for thorough damage assessment under NDRF guidelines before providing assistance.
