The Meteorological Department had predicted a potential cloudburst anywhere in Nashik district up to 10am on Tuesday. However, as the system has now moved towards the Akole area, the immediate threat to Nashik city and the district has been averted. Nevertheless, heavy rainfall continues in the Nashik Ghat areas.

The district administration and the Disaster Management Department have urged citizens to remain vigilant. People have been advised to avoid visiting riverbanks, hilly areas, and tourist spots while the rain persists in the Ghat regions.

The administration has clarified that although rainfall remains intense across Nashik district, there is no emergency in the city or the district.
