The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has kept Gujarat under a red alert after persistent heavy rainfall turned into a disaster in several districts.
The red alert, the highest level of weather warning, was issued due to continuous downpours that caused widespread flooding, landslides, and road blockages.
