Mumbai, Sept. 23 -- At least four people have died, 35 were airlifted, and over 50 people were rescued by boats from several parts of Beed and Dharashiv as the Marathwada region and parts of Solapur faced a cloudburst like situation on Monday. As flood water left several villages and farms inundated, hundreds of homes were damaged, leaving residents stranded on rooftops awaiting rescue teams. Among those who have died is a 70-year-old woman, Devganabai Ware, whose shed in Chincoli village was flooded. The region had already been receiving heavy rainfall in the past few weeks, and following the reports of the severe flooding deputy chief minister Ajit Pawar ordered the administration to take immediate measures and airlift people from the affected areas. Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis asked the local administration to coordinate with the state water resources department to take necessary steps. A statement from the CM's office read, "The CM is keeping an eye on the situation. He is in contact with the local administration. In addition, he has instructed the Water Resources Department to keep an eye on the situation." As the Sina, Chandani, Ulka, and Ulpha rivers in Dharashiv swelled in the rain and flooded the villages on their banks, the administration began a massive airlift drive with the help of the military to rescue those stuck on their roofs. An officer from the divisional commissioner's office in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar said, "In Devgaon from Paranda tehsil 35 people were rescued by airlifting them with a helicopter and attempts were going on to air lift others in Wadner village." The official said 33 villagers were reduced by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) using boats. "In Wadegavhan village over 150 villagers have been stuck in flood and the army is trying to rescue them," the official said, adding that in the past 24 hours, at least four people have died due to rain related incidents in Nanded, Latur, and Dharashiv. While primary reports say that 83 homes have been damaged partially, the extent of the damage in Dharashiv will only be known in two-three days. The police said, in the midst of the flooding in Beed, when locals of Takalsingh village in Ashti tehsil spotted a man being swept due to the rainwater, they took matters into their own hands. A group of five youngsters tied ropes around their waists, swam into the floodwaters, and rescued the man safely. The police said that while the man is yet to be identified, he is being treated at the Takalsingh primary health centre....
