Over 600 people stranded in flood waters were rescued and almost 12,000 people were shifted to shelters and safer locations amidst heavy rains lashing Gujarat and creating flood-like situations in several districts of the State on September 18.
Owing to incessant rains, Narmada dam and nine other reservoirs continued to overflow for the second day on Monday, prompting the state authorities to deploy the NDRF teams and shift the people from vulnerable areas to safer locations.
In a press release; the government said that approximately 11,900 people from low-lying areas of districts including Vadodara, Bharuch, Narmada, Dahod, Panchmahal, Anand and Gandhinagar have shifted to safe shelters, where their food and health-related services are also being taken care of.
