In August 2025, severe rainfall and a reported cloudburst in which Maharashtra district resulted in fatalities and widespread flooding?
Nanded
A cloudburst refers to an extreme, highly localised rainfall event, usually exceeding 100 mm in an hour, which often leads to flash floods, landslides and significant damage to life and property in the affected area.
In August 2025, extremely heavy rainfall and a reported cloudburst struck Nanded district in Maharashtra, triggering severe flooding across several villages, inundating fields and homes and resulting in multiple fatalities as rivers like the Godavari and its tributaries swelled.
State and central disaster response teams, including NDRF units, were deployed for rescue and relief operations in the worst-hit areas of the district.
Hence, the correct answer is Nanded.
