Monsoon Alert: Rivers Swell, Highways Sink as Monsoon Intensifies Across States

Heavy monsoon rains continue to affect large parts of India, causing flooding, crop damage, infrastructure disruption, and rising river levels. From Gujarat to Kerala and Madhya Pradesh, intense rainfall has created difficult conditions for residents. In Gujarat’s Junagadh, farmers are struggling as stagnant floodwater remains in fields days after the rain stopped, damaging crops and threatening their livelihoods. In Tapi district, the Gaekwadi Doswada Dam has overflowed following heavy rains, prompting authorities to place 17 nearby villages on high alert and advise residents in low-lying areas to move to safer locations. In Valsad’s Vapi area, flooded roads and markets have disrupted daily life and caused losses for traders. A section of the Amreli-Savarkundla National Highway was damaged due to heavy rains but was partially reopened after repair work. Kerala’s Malappuram district also witnessed destruction due to strong winds and heavy showers. Meanwhile, Madhya Pradesh’s Ujjain saw the Shipra River rise sharply, submerging temples and ghats, including areas around Ram Ghat. Weather authorities have issued heavy rainfall warnings for several states, including parts of western India and Uttar Pradesh.
