In the last two days, the entire Maharashtra has witnessed the havoc of rain. I saw a mountain of accidents. Saw floods in villages, streets, roads, cities. But this disaster is not over yet. Unfortunately, it needs to be on alert for the next 24 hours. The Met department has warned that the impact of rain havoc is yet to increase. In Maharashtra, heavy rain has been issued at several places even today. In fact, there is a low pressure area around the Bay of Bengal. And the humid winds from here are constantly blowing westwards. This has created a rain-friendly environment along the beaches of Maharashtra, Goa and Kerala.
