Heavy rains in Maharashtra's Raigad district washed nearly 3,000 LPG cylinders into the Patalganga River after floodwaters inundated a storage facility. Authorities have issued a public warning, asking residents to stay away from the river and avoid handling any cylinders that may drift downstream. Emergency teams and local officials have launched a search and recovery operation to retrieve the cylinders and prevent potential accidents. Officials said there have been no reports of injuries so far. The incident highlights the impact of relentless monsoon rains, which have triggered flooding and disrupted normal life in several parts of the state. (PC: India Today)
