Heavy Rain Benefits Farmers but Triggers Infrastructure Concerns

Several parts of Beed district received strong rainfall accompanied by gusty winds. Areas such as Chausala, Raulasgaon, Anjanwati, Limbaganesh, and Manjarsumba recorded significant showers, leading to the flow of small rivers and streams.
