The semi-arid region of Marathwada in central Maharashtra received 126 per cent more rainfall than the September average this year, an official said on Wednesday, reported the PTI.

Several parts of the region, which comprises Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Dharashiv, Latur, Nanded, Jalna, Hingoli, Parbhani and Beed districts, were battered by torrential rains, resulting in discharge of water from dams and flooding, in September.
