Continuous downpours in Madhya Pradesh's Vindhya region have caused a major road in Seedi to be swept away, with damage estimated at ₹104 crore.
The Vindhya belt of Madhya Pradesh has been lashed by relentless rain for several days, leading to severe flooding in several districts. In Seedi, a key arterial road connecting nearby villages was completely washed away as water levels rose, causing an estimated loss of ₹104 crore in infrastructure.
Local authorities have cordoned off the damaged stretch and are assessing alternative routes to restore connectivity for residents. Emergency teams have been deployed to assist stranded commuters and to prevent further erosion of the surrounding embankments.
The state disaster management department has issued an advisory urging people to avoid travel on the affected road until repairs are completed. Preliminary reports suggest that the repair work could take several weeks, depending on the monsoon intensity.
Officials are also monitoring the situation in neighboring areas, as the same weather system continues to raise river levels across the region.
The incident underscores the growing vulnerability of rural infrastructure to extreme weather events in central India.
