In Maharashtra's Nanded and Latur districts, torrential rainfalls have compelled the relocation of over 2,200 individuals, authorities disclosed on Thursday. The extreme weather has substantially impacted multiple regions, paralyzing infrastructure and endangering lives.
Seventeen revenue circles in Mukhed, Kandhar, and Naygaon bore the brunt of the adverse weather, with Biloli and Narsi areas in Nanded recording the highest rainfall at 115 millimeters. Meanwhile, Latur saw substantial downpours in 29 out of 60 revenue circles. The heavy precipitation has submerged bridges and severed 41 roads in Ausa, Nilanga, Latur, and Udgir talukas, exacerbating the regions' vulnerabilities.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an 'orange' alert for Nanded, Latur, and Dharashiv on Thursday, indicating expected rainfall between 115.6 and 204.4 millimeters. An additional 'yellow' alert for Nanded is set for Friday.
