Maharashtra

Weather officials have issued yellow alerts for several districts in Maharashtra as monsoon rain is forecast to intensify again across the state. A Marathi news report asks whether rainfall will once more cause widespread disruption and lists which districts are under alert, with residents tracking forecasts as the seasonal rains return.

Maharashtra's chief electoral officer wrote to the Election Commission seeking greater authority for local officials during the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, making four demands. The letter has drawn attention as the SIR exercise continues in the state, with officials reportedly wanting clearer powers to handle revisions at the local level.
