Heavy Rainfall in Satara Villages Causes School Closures and Road Damage
Heavy rainfall in Satara district's villages like Navaja has caused significant disruptions, including school closures and damaged roads. Navaja received 394 mm of rain on July 28, the highest in two years, leading to a month-long closure of its primary school and the collapse of the main road connecting it to nearby areas. Limited transport options force residents to rely on a few jeeps, while mobile network coverage was only recently established. Nearby villages face similar challenges due to persistent monsoon impacts.
