Heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours has resulted in flood-like conditions across parts of Chhattisgarh, severely affecting normal life in Raipur and Durg districts. As the Kharun River continues to rise, waterlogging has disrupted transportation and submerged several roads and villages, complicating daily activities for residents.
In Raipur, the road connecting it to Patan and Durg through Mahadev Ghat has been rendered almost impassable, leading to significant traffic disruptions. The Raipur-Bhilai route is similarly affected, experiencing severe waterlogging due to the persistent downpour.
Particularly hard-hit are the Amleshwar and Khudmuda villages in Durg district, where the strong water flow has submerged roads, further hindering movement and access. Homes in low-lying areas have been inundated, forcing residents to contend with rising waters and potential damage to property.
Weather forecasts predict further rainfall and thunderstorms in the region, raising concerns about continued water accumulation and the potential for further disruption and damage in low-lying and riverside areas. Authorities are closely monitoring the situation as residents brace for more adverse weather conditions.
