This brought intense rainfall activity over Telangana, Chhattisgarh, Marathwada and Vidarbha regions of Maharashtra.The NDRF officials also said that teams deployed in the wake of cyclonic storm Gulab in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh have been active on the ground and helping the local administrations in restoration of normalcy in both states.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
