Heavy rainfall has caused rivers and streams to overflow in Madhya Pradesh, leading to waterlogging in various districts. In Khargone, eight inches of rain fell in 24 hours, prompting the lower Veda Dam to reach 316.35 metres, nearly its maximum capacity. Authorities opened two gates to release water, causing the Veda River level to rise, which has prompted residents to stay away from the riverbanks.
In Sendhwa, heavy rain has halted road connectivity to Maharashtra, with the Tori River overflowing its bridge. Farmers in the region fear crop damage due to prolonged rainfall, and authorities urge residents to remain vigilant and avoid rivers and streams. Heavy rain has also disrupted traffic on the Umarda-Segwal road, with water flowing over a culvert, putting commuters at risk due to the absence of warning signs.
The Narmada River's water level has risen to 133.60 metres, prompting the administration to step up monitoring and caution residents to avoid riverbanks and areas with strong currents.
