What happened
Heavy rainfall across the Nashik district boosted water storage levels in reservoirs, with the Gangapur Dam now reported as 68% full. Despite no water being released from the dam, the Godavari River experienced its first flood of the season. Intense rainfall in Nashik city caused severe waterlogging in low-lying areas, and flooding along the Godavari resulted in losses for small riverside businesses.
