About 43 of the 59 tehsils in the region, comprising seven districts, have recorded rainfall above the danger mark of 65 mm on several occasions while some have gone well above 120 mm.

Damage to private property, though very extensive, has not yet been calculated, though the loss to government property, mainly roads and irrigation projects, is estimated at Rs 20 crore, Deputy Commissioner, (Revenue) Umakant Dangat, told The Indian Express.
