Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to significant disruptions in Chhattisgarh, with flood-like conditions emerging in multiple regions. The Kharun River’s rising levels have resulted in waterlogging, particularly affecting Raipur and Durg districts, where normal life has been severely disrupted.
The deluge has submerged several roads and riverside villages, with water entering homes in low-lying areas, creating a challenging situation for residents. Notably, the road connecting Raipur, Patan, and Durg through Mahadev Ghat has experienced significant disruptions, impacting traffic flow. Additionally, the Raipur-Bhilai route via Mahadev Ghat is facing severe waterlogging issues.
In the Durg district, villages such as Amleshwar and Khudmuda are among the hardest hit, with strong water flows and submerged roads making movement difficult for the local population. The intensity of the rainfall and the resulting conditions have raised concerns about the safety and mobility of residents in these areas.
Forecasts indicate the possibility of further rainfall and thunderstorms in the region, raising alarm over continued water accumulation in already affected low-lying and riverside areas. Authorities and residents are on high alert as they brace for potentially worsening conditions.
