Overview

• An official divisional report tallied 104 deaths and 2,838 animal losses since June 1 across Marathwada’s eight districts, with repairs to damaged roads, bridges, schools and utilities estimated at Rs 2,432.53 crore.
• Authorities evacuated more than 11,500 residents to shelters, with NDRF and SDRF teams conducting rescues, drone-delivering medicines and carrying out high‑risk medical transfers from isolated areas.
• Continued releases from reservoirs such as Sindphana and Jayakwadi have prolonged flooding in pockets, leaving villages like Sandas Chincholi cut off and delaying the restoration of connectivity.
• Nearly 30 lakh acres of farmland have been damaged, with soybean, cotton and sugarcane hit hard, and farmers warn that cleaning fields and restoring soil fertility could take years.
• The state has begun implementing a Rs 2,215 crore relief package that opposition leaders call insufficient, as officials keep low‑lying areas on alert even as rainfall has eased.
