Top 25 News: Flood hits power, water supply in Sangli, Kolhapur in Maharashtra

Floods have hit the districts of Kolhapur and Sangli hard with the city of Sangli completely
marooned, and over two lakh people living without electricity in affected areas, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said here on Thursday after conducting aerial survey.
Several water-supply schemes have become dysfunctional and crops and houses have been damaged with thousands shifted to safer places, he said, adding that restoring water and
electricity supply was the priority.
"During the aerial survey, I found most of the Sangli city surrounded by water. My helicopter was not given permission to land at Sangli and Karad. Since Kolhapur has an airport, I could land here and meet affected people," he said.
