Heavy Rainfall in Nashik Prompts Evacuations, School Closures, and Tourist Spot ShutdownsNext

Heavy rainfall in Nashik district's Igatpuri taluka has caused soil subsidence threatening homes of 8 to 10 families, leading to the relocation of 39 residents to temporary shelters at a local school. In response to ongoing heavy rains and forecasts, schools in six talukas remain closed, and all tourist spots are shut until July 12. Authorities have urged residents to stay safe, avoid travel to tourist and religious sites, and monitor local conditions amid continued monsoon risks.
