Nashik: Various temples have submerged under the Godavari river in Maharashtra’s Nashik district, owing to excessive rainfall in the region. On Sunday, August 4, small temples at Ramkund and the Goda Ghat in Nashik were submerged due to rainfall.
Water had reached the waist-level of the iconic Dutondya Maruti idol in the afternoon, according to reports.
The Nashik district has so far received 476.1 mm of rainfall since June. Various reservoirs in the district collectively have a water stock of 28,748 million cubic feet, or 43.78 per cent of the combined capacity, said officials.
The Nashik district administration has urged citizens to stay alert following the rise in the water level of the Godavari river due to heavy rainfall, according to a PTI report.
The report cited an official as saying that due to incessant rains in the district, the authorities released 4,000 cusecs of water from Gangapur dam, which supplies water to Nashik city, at 4 pm on Sunday.
The water level in Godavari has increased and there might be a flood-like situation downstream in Saikheda and Chandroi villages in Niphad taluka in the district.
