Unprecedented flooding claimed parts of the Saurashtra region in Gujarat following incessant rain over the past three days.
The State will continue to witness heavy to extremely heavy downpours for the next two days. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued red, orange and yellow alerts for various districts.
“At present, the monsoon is in the active phase so, under its influence, extremely heavy rainfall is already occurring over the State of Gujarat, which will continue for the next 24 hours. Extremely heavy rainfall means more than 20 cm of rainfall. Thereafter, heavy rainfall may continue at isolated places,” Naresh Kumar, Scientist, IMD, said on Sunday.
