Maharashtra Braces for Heavy Rainfall and Flooding

Maharashtra is experiencing heavy rainfall and flooding due to a low-pressure system moving inland from the Bay of Bengal.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast increased rainfall between July 29 and July 31, with moderate to heavy rainfall expected across Vidarbha, North Marathwada, Khandesh, Konkan, and the ghat areas of Madhya Maharashtra.

Wind speeds are also likely to increase in these regions.

Authorities have issued alerts and declared holidays for schools and colleges in affected areas to ensure public safety.

Residents are advised to avoid unnecessary travel and stay away from low-lying areas due to the risk of flooding and landslides.
