Gujarat Inundated With Heavy Rains
This incident occurred as Gujarat continued to experience heavy rain and flooding, resulting in 32 deaths and the relocation of over 32,000 people within four days.
Several districts of the state have been hit by heavy rainfall, with Navsari recording the highest at 356 mm, followed by Dangs, Vadodara, and Anand. South Gujarat districts, including Valsad, Tapi, Navsari, Surat, Narmada, and Panchmahal, have been severely affected.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is closely monitoring the flood situation and has directed officials to take all necessary actions to ensure public safety.
