Flood Situation in Vadodara: Residents Refuse to Evacuate as Waters Rise

Vadodara is grappling with heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding, particularly affecting the Vadsar area. The Vishwamitri River’s elevated water levels have cut off access to several residential areas, leaving residents stranded. While the Municipal Commissioner urged residents to move to safer locations, many chose to stay in their homes. The Municipal Corporation is actively supplying relief materials to those affected. Officials are keeping a close watch on the evolving situation, with the river’s water level currently below the danger mark. Simultaneously, the SDRF successfully rescued nine individuals from the flooded Sabarmati River near Danta. The state of Gujarat has recorded above-average rainfall this monsoon season, with some regions receiving significantly higher amounts than others.
