In Maharashtra's Ratnagiri, an 8-foot-long crocodile was spotted on a rain-soaked road in the Chiplun area on Sunday night. The reptile, believed to have emerged from the nearby Shiva River, was captured on video by an autorickshaw driver navigating the flooded street. The unexpected sighting caused alarm among residents, who are familiar with crocodiles inhabiting the river but rarely see them venture into populated areas. Local authorities are monitoring the situation to ensure public safety as the region experiences heavy monsoon rains.
