Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has led to severe waterlogging and flood-like conditions in several parts of Chhattisgarh, notably affecting Raipur and Durg districts. The rising waters of the Kharun River have submerged roads and riverside villages, disrupting daily life and transportation in the region.
Residents of low-lying areas are particularly impacted, as water has inundated homes, making movement challenging. The road connecting Raipur, Patan, and Durg through Mahadev Ghat is severely affected, with traffic disruptions reported. The Raipur-Bhilai route via Mahadev Ghat is experiencing significant water accumulation, further complicating travel.
Villages like Amleshwar and Khudmuda in Durg district are among the worst hit, with strong water flow and submerged roads posing difficulties for the local population. Authorities are monitoring the situation closely as more rainfall and thunderstorms are forecasted for the region, heightening concerns about further water accumulation in vulnerable areas.
Efforts are underway to address the immediate impact of the flooding, although the continued weather forecast suggests that the challenges may persist. Residents are advised to remain vigilant and take necessary precautions as authorities work to manage the situation effectively.
