Mumbai: Thousands of gas cylinders were washed away after severe monsoon rains and flooding caused the collapse of a plant wall in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
According to Indian media, heavy monsoon rainfall has been affecting several states, flooding roads and low-lying areas, triggering landslides, and washing away key transport links.
