Chhattisgarh Flooded: Kharun River Surges, Villages Submerged
26 Sep
Summary
- Chhattisgarh experienced flood-like conditions due to incessant rainfall.
- The Kharun River overflowed, submerging roads and impacting villages.
- Traffic and daily life were disrupted across Raipur and Durg districts.
Chhattisgarh is currently facing a flood-like situation following over 24 hours of continuous rainfall. The Kharun River's rising water levels have led to extensive waterlogging in villages across the Raipur and Durg districts, significantly disrupting normal life and traffic.
The overflowing river has submerged key roads, including the route connecting Raipur to Patan and Durg via Mahadev Ghat. Villages like Amleshwar and Khudmuda in the Durg district are heavily affected, with water inundating roads and entering homes.
Residents in low-lying and riverside areas are experiencing heightened concern due to the persistent rain and water accumulation. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) predicts generally cloudy skies with spells of rain and thunderstorms, possibly with lightning, for September 26 and 27.
