Heavy Rainfall in Madhya Pradesh Disrupts Daily Life, Helicopter Rescues Underway
Incessant rainfall has thrown normal life into disarray across Madhya Pradesh. Ujjain district is experiencing continuous downpours, leading to the overflowing of the Shipra River, while the mighty Chambal River is also swelling, causing concern. In addition, the Chamla River’s overflow in the Badnagar tehsil has left several villages submerged in water.
In a dramatic rescue operation, a pregnant woman named Mala and her husband were airlifted by a helicopter from the water-encircled Semliya village, near Badnagar. Meanwhile, approximately 50 people are still stranded in Dangwada village, also in Badnagar, awaiting rescue efforts by the administration.
To aid in the rescue efforts, a group of 300 Home Guards and NDRF personnel from the entire Badnagar tehsil have organized a rescue mission. The administration had arranged for a helicopter to be brought in from Pune to rescue three individuals trapped in Badnagar.
