An Army helicopter rescued 10 people stranded by floods in Maharashtra's Solapur district. Heavy rains in Ahilyanagar and Dharashiv caused water discharge into nearby rivers, leading to widespread flooding. The NDRF and Army are deployed for further rescue operations following an IMD red alert for heavy rainfall.

An Army helicopter played a crucial role in rescuing 10 individuals trapped by floodwaters in Madha tehsil of Maharashtra's Solapur district. Authorities separately evacuated another 20 residents amid ongoing efforts.
