Heavy Rain in Madhya Pradesh Causes Flooding and Multiple Deaths in Rajgarh District
Heavy rains in Madhya Pradesh's Rajgarh district caused severe flooding, resulting in the deaths of five to seven people, including children, after a van carrying 11 passengers was swept into a swollen drain while crossing a water-covered, under-construction bridge in Padana village. Rescue operations are ongoing for missing individuals. The downpour also led to widespread waterlogging, traffic disruptions, and school closures in Bhopal and surrounding areas, with authorities conducting relief and evacuation efforts across affected villages.
