Emergency responders rushed to rescue those trapped amid structural failures and fallen trees. In Palghar, a wall collapse caused significant damage to vehicles parked nearby, exacerbating the flood’s impact on the community.
In Thane, countless individuals united despite torrential rains to express their objections to infrastructure developments jeopardizing Sanjay Gandhi National Park.
