Chitrakoot and Satna regions experienced heavy rainfall for two consecutive days, prompting the administration to remain vigilant. On Saturday morning, the Mandakini River's water level remained elevated. On Friday evening, the river's water level surged rapidly, surmounting the danger mark. In the past 24 hours, Bichhia received 191.8 mm of rainfall, while Ajaigarh, Amarkantak, and Panna recorded 180.2 mm, 148.0 mm, and 143.2 mm, respectively.
Bajag, Gaurihar, Majhgaon, Birsa, Mawai, and Khajuraho also saw substantial rainfall, with amounts ranging from 143.0 mm to 118.0 mm. The escalating water level induced panic among local businesses and disrupted pilgrim and local movement. Rescue teams have been dispatched, and an alert has been issued. Despite continuous rain in Chitrakoot, the river's water level continued to rise, indicating an escalating situation.
The current scenario is deemed more severe than the previous heavy rainfall in a short span as the prolonged rainfall has not necessitated any displacement thus far.
