As Nagpur city reeled under the onslaught of intense showers, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, who visited the city’s flood-hit areas on Sunday, said the damage caused by the rain might have been minimised had older structures been repaired.
At least four people were killed and hundreds had to be rescued as the city received 109 millimetres of rain in barely three hours on Saturday.
Distraught citizens greeted Mr. Fadnavis’ convoy on Sunday as the Deputy CM, who hails from Nagpur, inspected the rain-hit areas and directed officials to take immediate measures.
