Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray had to cancel his visit to the flood-hit Patan taluka in Satara district on Monday due to rough weather, an official said. Mr Thackeray was to take a helicopter from Pune to Koynanagar and conduct an aerial survey of the affected areas. He was also scheduled to meet the affected people at a shelter camp set up at a zilla parishad school in Koynanagar. An official in the Chief Minister's Office said Mr Thackeray is scheduled to return to Mumbai as the tour has been cancelled due to "inclement weather". Heavy rains last week caused landslides at Ambeghar and Mirgaon villages of Patan taluka.
