The Godavari river crossed the danger mark in Nashik early Friday following water discharge from the Gangapur dam amid heavy rainfall, officials told PTI. The district recorded 116 mm rainfall in 24 hours ending at 8.30 am on Friday, while the intensity of rain reduced later in the day.
The rise in water levels of the Godavari and other rivers led to flooding in several areas, with authorities shifting residents to safer locations and issuing precautionary measures.
