Intense monsoon showers have caused flooding and road blockages in Valsad and Navsari districts of Gujarat, prompting authorities to issue warnings and deploy relief teams.
On Thursday, the western state of Gujarat recorded heavy monsoon rainfall, with Valsad and Navsari districts receiving over 200 mm of rain in a 24‑hour period.
The deluge caused widespread flooding, submerging low‑lying areas and blocking major roads, including the NH-48 corridor that links Surat to Valsad.
State officials issued a weather alert and dispatched water‑pump crews and emergency teams to affected villages, while the district administration set up temporary relief camps.
Residents are advised to stay indoors, avoid crossing flooded roads, and keep emergency contact numbers handy.
