In Rewa, Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh, heavy rains have turned roads and fields into ponds, causing residents to navigate knee-deep waters. On Thursday, nine hours of continuous rainfall led rivers in the Tarai region to overflow, inundating low-lying areas up to 3 feet deep. Revenue and police teams have been patrolling the affected zones, urging citizens to stay away from riverbanks.
Similarly, Chhatarpur witnessed waterlogging following heavy rains. The Gaurihar bus stand was particularly affected as rainwater entered shops, damaging stock and property. Locals complained about the lack of adequate drainage facilities, which transformed the roads into ponds, hampering daily commutes.
The situation has prompted residents and shopkeepers to demand immediate action from local authorities. They accuse the responsible officials of neglecting to clean culverts and drains before the rainy season. If left unaddressed, the conditions could worsen during the impending rains.
