Several sections of south Gujarat have experienced significant rain in the previous 36 hours, and additional rain is forecast in the next two days, according to officials. The rainfall disrupted life and transportation flow in the Valsad, Surat, Navsari, and Tapi districts of south Gujarat, they added, as heavy rains caused water-logging in low-lying areas and the closure of certain rural routes.
Following a brief shower in the morning, several roads in Ahmedabad were covered with knee-deep water, forcing commuters to wade through it to reach their destinations. In the last 36 hours ending at 6 am on Thursday, Pardi taluka of Valsad district in south Gujarat received as much as 182 mm rainfall, a release by the State Emergency Operations Centre (SEOC) said.
