Heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours has led to flood-like conditions in several areas of Chhattisgarh, significantly impacting the districts of Raipur and Durg. The rising waters of the Kharun River have resulted in widespread waterlogging, causing major disruptions to daily life.
Numerous roads and riverside villages are underwater, with water seeping into homes in low-lying neighborhoods. Notably, the road connecting Raipur, Patan, and Durg through Mahadev Ghat has been severely affected, leading to traffic interruptions. The route from Raipur to Bhilai via Mahadev Ghat is also experiencing significant water accumulation.
In Durg district, villages such as Amleshwar and Khudmuda are among the hardest hit, where the strong flow of water and submerged roads have made movement challenging for residents. The ongoing situation has raised concerns about accessibility and safety in these areas.
Weather forecasts indicate further rainfall and thunderstorms for the region, which could exacerbate the current conditions by causing additional water buildup in low-lying and riverside areas. Authorities and residents remain on high alert as they prepare for the possibility of continued disruptions.
