In Maharashtra, Latur district has been experiencing heavy rains since this afternoon, leading to flood-like conditions in several areas. With the opening of the gates of Manjara, Lower Terna, and Tawarja projects, rivers, streams, and canals have overflowed, causing water to flow over bridges in many villages. As a result, road connectivity to several villages in Nilanga and Ausa talukas has been cut off.

The Latur-Zahirabad National Highway was submerged under floodwaters. Meanwhile, the opening of 10 gates of the Lower Terna Project on the Terna River at the Latur-Dharashiv border caused water to overflow bridges, further disrupting connectivity to several villages. In Dharashiv district, heavy rains have been lashing Paranda and Bhoom talukas since last night.

Several villages, including Wadner, Devgaon, Shelgaon, and Lakhi Awarpimpri in Paranda taluka, have reported floodwaters entering houses. District disaster management teams, assisted by the Indian Army and NDRF, carried out rescue operations and shifted about 200 affected residents to safer locations.
