Floods leave trail of destruction in Konkan towns; task of rebuilding lives lies ahead

UPSC Practice recommends Floods leave trail of destruction in Konkan towns; task of rebuilding lives lies ahead.

Chiplun, Khed and several other towns in Ratnagiri and parts of neighbouring Raigad bore the brunt of the torrential rain and the subsequent floods over the last few days, with several rivers in the region flowing above the danger mark. Although the water level has receded to a large extent in most of the affected parts, the floods have left a trail of large scale damage – from sludge and heaps of mud in the houses and roads to loss of loved ones.
