Mumbai-Thane-Palghar shall witness an easing in the rain situation with Yellow Alerts from Tuesday till Friday, as per the IMD.
The Konkan Railway linking the western coastal part of India has witnessed a huge chaos owing to waterlogging on the tracks, leakages or flooding in tunnels, landslides at certain spots leading to huge delays and cancellations of several long-distance trains.
The monsoon has now covered almost the entire Maharashtra, cheering the farmers and people, during the past week and is gradually wiping out the seasonal rain deficit, with the lake levels in Mumbai achieving 30 per cent water stocks, or equivalent to the stock available on the same dates in 2023.
The rains have boosted the water stocks in many reservoirs, dams, lakes, wells in Mumbai, Thane, Palghar, Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhudurg, Pune, Satara, Nashik, Ahmednagar and other district all over the state, though parts of Marathwada-Vidarbha have yet to get sufficient rainfall.
