Maharashtra: CM Thackeray to visit cyclone Nisarga affected Alibag

Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray on Friday will visit the affected areas of Raigad district's Alibaug  to take a stock of the damages done by cyclone Nisarga.

The visit comes a day after the CM held a video conference with the authorities to monitor the situation in the aftermath of the cyclone and asked the authorities to complete the 'panchnamas' or inspection and submit a report on the damages caused by Nisarga within two days.

So far Six people have died in the cyclone while 16 are injured. 

On June 4, Thackeray had announced an ex gratia of Rs 4 lakh to the kin of the deceased. He also directed the officials to ensure early resumption of electricity in the affected areas where uprooting of poles disrupted the power supply.

Crops, trees, and houses over 5,033 hectares of land were damaged by the cyclone.
