Incessant rains pummelled Nashik city and other parts of the district in Maharashtra for the third consecutive day on Tuesday, triggering floods in the Godavari river which has crossed the danger mark.
Many rivers across the district are also in spate due to heavy rains.
While one elderly woman was killed by a wall collapse in the district, a couple are feared to have been washed away in flash floods in Umrale village.
Downpours which gained intensity in the last 48 hours caused water-logging in areas like Ramwadi, Bohorpatti, Bhandi Bazar, Saraf Bazar, and in some slum pockets.
As authorities released water from the Gangapur dam the river level rose significantly, forcing many bridges in the Old Nashik area underwater.
The irrigation department released thousands of cusecs of water from Gangapur, Darna, Palkhed, and other dams after heavy and incessant rain. This caused floods in Darna, Kadva, and other rivers in the district, said an official from the district collectorate.
In Nashik city, Godavari river water gushed into many areas adjacent to the river.
Many ancient temples located on the banks of the river were submerged due to floods, while a few steps of the famous Naroshankar temple near ‘Ramkund’ are also underwater.
