Earlier, in July, hundreds of people lost their lives after heavy rainfall led to landslides in Maharashtra's Raigad, Ratnagiri, Sindhu Durg, Pune, Satara and Kolhapur districts. At that time, the Centre and Maharashtra government had assured of all possible help to the families, kins of the deceased and those who were injured in the incident.
The district administration of Raigad in Maharashtra had received 26 container houses on Friday to provide temporary accommodation to the residents of Taliye village, which were affected by a devastating landslide last month.
The village, located in Mahad tehsil, had witnessed the deadliest landslide on July 22 following heavy rains, flattening several houses there.
The incident had claimed the lives of 84 persons.
While 53 bodies had been recovered from the site, 31 missing persons were declared dead later.
