Heavy to very heavy rain pounded several districts in Gujarat’s south and Saurashtra regions on Saturday, triggering a flood-like situation in urban areas and isolating villages, amid rising water levels in dams and overflowing rivers.
In Junagadh city, dozens of parked cars and cattle were swept away in gushing waters after it received 241 mm of rainfall in just 12 hours till 8 p.m. on Saturday. People were seen wading through waist-deep water to safer places. Some of them were rescued by volunteers as they were carried away in strong currents.
