Parts of north Gujarat received extremely heavy rains in the last 24 hours as the intensity of cyclone Biparjoy gradually reduced from a very severe cyclonic storm to a "depression", officials said on June 18.
Authorities were on their toes in Banaskantha and Patan districts and relocated thousands of people residing in low-lying areas to safer places, they said.
Remnants of cyclone Biparjoy lay as a "depression" over south Rajasthan and it was likely to maintain its intensity on Sunday and bring rainfall in parts of Gujarat, Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said.
