Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray has said people residing in hilly and landslide-prone areas of the rain-ravaged Konkan region are being evacuated and expressed grief over the loss of lives in a landslide in Raigad district. He appealed to people to cooperate with the local administration in the evacuation process in vulnerable areas in the coastal region, a statement from the Chief Minister`s Office (CMO) said.
Thackeray asked people to be alert in the backdrop of the IMD forecasting heavy rains in the next two days in several parts of the state. He said the local administration should work in coordination for smooth relief and rescue operations in the rain-devastated areas. The chief minister visited the disaster management authority control room in Mantralaya (state secretariat) in south Mumbai and took stock of the situation arising out of downpour and flooding in Konkan and western Maharashtra. Thirty people have died in a landslide near a village in the coastal Raigad district of Maharashtra, police said.
