More than 1,100 people were evacuated to safer locations in Maharashtra's Thane and Palghar districts on Tuesday, after torrential rains disrupted normal life and inundated several areas, officials said.

The downpour continued across the two districts, which form part of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, flooding homes, causing wall collapses, and cutting off villages, they added.

Kalyan tehsildar and executive magistrate Sachin Shejal said several localities were waterlogged following heavy rainfall and swelling rivers.
