Palghar among worst-hit districts

Palghar witnessed some of its worst flooding in the past decade after incessant rainfall and the release of water from dams caused rivers to overflow. More than 200 villages across the district lost connectivity with their respective taluka headquarters and the district headquarters after roads and culverts were submerged.
