Heavy Rain Causes Flooding and Disruptions in Chhattisgarh's Raipur and Durg Districts

Waterlogging has affected villages such as Amleshwar and Khudmuda, disrupting daily life and commuter movement. Rail services on the Durg-Dallirajhara section were also impacted, leading to train cancellations. The state government declared a school holiday amid ongoing rain, while the India Meteorological Department forecasts continued cloudy skies with possible thundershowers.
