In the past 24 hours, heavy rain has thrown normal life out of gear in parts of Madhya Pradesh. Several bridges, roads, and low-lying areas are submerged, affecting the normal lives of the people.
According to the Times Of India, a swollen river encroached upon areas near Ramghat and Jankighat, prompting the local administration to issue warnings and restrict the movement of the public near the banks. Several shops and makeshift structures were flooded, while residents living close to the river were advised to move to safer locations.
"Around 200 pilgrims who had came to Chitrakoot were rescued. Food arrangements were made for most of them. Around 50 shopkeepers were also rescued," SDM Majhgawan, AP Dwivedi, told TOI.
Waterlogging was also reported from several areas in Vindhya and Maihar as well.
