Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to flood-like conditions in several areas of Chhattisgarh, significantly impacting daily life in Raipur and Durg districts. The Kharun River’s rising levels have caused extensive waterlogging, submerging roads and riverside villages, with water entering homes in low-lying regions.
In Raipur, the road connecting Raipur, Patan, and Durg through Mahadev Ghat has been severely affected, leading to traffic disruptions. The Raipur-Bhilai route via Mahadev Ghat has also experienced considerable water buildup, complicating commute and transport in the area.
In Durg district, villages such as Amleshwar and Khudmuda are facing challenges due to strong water flow and submerged roads, making movement difficult for residents. The situation has prompted local authorities to monitor the conditions closely as further rainfall and thunderstorms are forecasted.
Concerns are mounting about continued water accumulation in low-lying and riverside areas as the weather conditions persist. Authorities are advising residents to remain cautious and prepared, especially those living in vulnerable areas prone to heavy flooding. The possibility of additional adverse weather emphasizes the need for continued vigilance and readiness in the affected regions.
