In 1993, a deadly earthquake in Killari village and neighbouring areas in the district claimed around 10,000 lives.

Pawar, who was the chief minister at the time, immediately rushed to the earthquake-affected areas and took the initiative for the rebuilding of villages that were destroyed, she said.
