Continue rain triggers the flood-like situation in MP

Date:

Bhopal, July 25 (IANS) Continued rain for three days in several parts of Madhya Pradesh has prompted the authorities to make the people alert of a flood-like situation. Almost big and small size rivers in the state including- Narmada, Betva, Tava, Shipra, Gopad Banas, and many more are reportedly flowing above danger marks.

Highways and many roads connecting one from another part of the state are submerged with rainwater. Reports received from various locations suggested that there is a flood-like situation in many areas, schools, community health centers, government offices, and residential colonies.

A bridge built on National Highway connecting the capital city Bhopal to Raisen collapsed on Sunday night, slowing vehicular movement and causing traffic snarls on other roads. Similarly, a 40-meter patch of the newly constructed bridge on the National Highway connecting Bhopal-Jabalpur and Nagpur (Maharashtra) caved in near Bhopal. Further, the highway connecting Sheopur (MP) to Kota (Rajasthan) remained closed for two days due to water flowing above from small size bridges built on roads. Notably, an elderly woman’s body was cremated on road in Bhind district owing to the submergence of existing cremation space by swollen Sindh river.
