Ahmedabad: Thirty-five rain-related deaths have been reported in Gujarat in the past two days, officials said on Saturday even as the downpour in the state eased, prompting authorities to speed up work on damage assessment surveys and post-flood cleanliness.
Twenty-nine of these deaths have taken place in Valsad and Navsari, two of the worst affected districts, with over 7,000 persons rescued in the last few days, they added.
