💨 Abstract

Unseasonal rains and strong winds in Palghar district, Maharashtra, caused significant damage to boats, fishing equipment, and houses, with one fatality. Local MP Hemant Savara criticized the current compensation as inadequate and urged the state government to provide a special financial package for the affected fisherfolk. The government has sent officials to survey the damage. Nearly 800 houses and 50 boats were damaged, and one person died after stepping on a live wire.
