Maharashtra's Thane and Palghar districts have been hit hard by relentless rains, leading to severe waterlogging and extensive flooding. Over 200 residents have been evacuated to safety as authorities grapple with rising water levels that have inundated homes and cut off numerous villages.
The incessant downpour caused rivers to swell, prompting the shutdown of crucial bridges and roadways. In Kalyan taluka, areas like Katai and Nandivali Shivani Nagar were particularly affected. The Ulhas River bridge closure and traffic disruptions at Dahagaon highlight the area's critical situation.
Rescue efforts are in full swing, aided by the civic bodies and disaster management teams, as they work tirelessly to relocate affected individuals to civic shelters and schools. A notable rescue involved locals saving passengers trapped in a submerged SUV, emphasizing the community's resilience amid adversity.
