Amid
heavy rain and thunderstorms in many parts of Maharashtra, the Kamwari River in

the houses of people living near the banks.
Knee-deep water has filled the
houses of people living in the Sultania Gali slum area near the Kamwari River
in Bhiwandi, displacing many people from their homes due to the rise in river
water level.
