Torrential rain has claimed at least seven lives across Maharashtra, with more than 200 villagers stranded in flood-hit areas, prompting the deployment of the Army for urgent rescue and relief operations, reported the PTI.

Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis confirmed the death toll following a high-level review of the rainfall situation at the State Emergency Operations Centre in Mantralaya. He also highlighted serious flood conditions in Nanded, Konkan, and parts of Marathwada and Vidarbha.

“Some rivers in the Konkan region are at alarming levels, and Jalgaon has suffered widespread damage,” the CM posted on X.
