India, Sept. 24 -- A total six teams of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have rescued over 300 people from flood-hit areas of Solapur, Dharashiv, Ahilyanagar and Beed districts, where continuous heavy rainfall over the past two days has caused rivers to overflow and villages to be submerged.
