Recently, NCP President Sharad Pawar had appealed to the political leaders to avoid visiting the flood-hit areas so as not to obstruct the work of government agencies. However, stating that the most important thing is to understand the outcry of the people and present it to the government, further adding that the visit will not be a cause of hindrance, Fadnavis left for the tour.
Moreover, the former CM stated that they will assess the situation and submit a report with suggestions to the Maharashtra government for relief and rehabilitation measures.
