CM Shinde discusses Kolhapur flood situation with collector, issues directions

Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Saturday discussed the flood situation in Kolhapur with the local administration and directed them to provide all help to citizens.

He asked officials to coordinate with the Karnataka government on the discharge of water from Almatti Dam in the neighbouring state.

Heavy rains have resulted in the Panchganga river flowing above the danger mark, with possibility of further rise in the dam level, officials said.
