According to the fire services, a huge cashew tree came crashing down on the road near Gaondongrim Panchayat, totally blocking the road.
The personnel were also called to Char-Rasta to clear water from several houses.
A minor landslide was reported at Panna-Agonda, as a two-year-old retaining wall came crashing down, inundating the Agonda-Canacona roadside gutter. Many trees including a mango tree that got uprooted due to landslide partially blocked the road.
