Maharashtra Congress president Nana Patole on Monday demanded accountability from the state government regarding tourist safety measures at popular picnic spots during the monsoon season.

His concerns came a day after a tragic incident at Bhushi dam in Lonavala, where five people were swept away by sudden water surges. The bodies of four individuals, including three children, have been recovered. Rescue efforts by police, Navy divers, and other teams continue to search for a missing four-year-old boy.

Patole pressed the government for transparent preventive measures and the installation of adequate facilities to avert such tragedies. Additionally, he urged for proper amenities at Azad Maidan for protestors and called on the authorities to rehabilitate slum dwellers in Powai whose homes were demolished.
