The incessant downpour has led to overflowing rivers, inundating
low-lying areas and disrupting road traffic. Talukas like Vaibhavwadi,
Kankavali, and Kudal are among the worst affected.
Reports indicate that water levels in major rivers have risen
significantly, causing concern. The situation is further compounded by some
villages being cut off due to flooded roads.
To assist with rescue and relief efforts, the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) has deployed teams to Sindhudurg. As per news reports, NDRF personnel are currently engaged in rescuing people stranded in flooded areas, particularly near the overflowing Basta River.
The district administration has issued an advisory urging
residents to stay indoors and avoid venturing into flooded areas. Those in
vulnerable locations have been advised to move to safer grounds.
The weather department has predicted continued rainfall for the next few days, necessitating continued vigilance from authorities.
