Over the last three days, the Pune and Konkan divisions in Maharashtra have witnessed torrential rains that triggered landslides and floods in some areas. The toll from rain-related incidents in the state has risen. To rescue stranded, two teams of National Disaster Response Force were deployed while coast guard was also instructed for a helicopter to airlift people in need.
The water was flowing with a strong force, due to which the bus fell off the bridge and got stuck in water before being swept away by the strong currents.
Incessant rains and resultant flooding have washed out the ballast below the railway tracks and embankment in several patches between Chiplun and Kamathe section, said L K Verma, chief spokesperson of KR.
Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Thursday took a review of the situation arising out of the continuous downpour in these two coastal districts, the chief minister’s office (CMO) said.
