Bhopal Faces Heavy Rainfall and Waterlogging; Officials Inspect and Respond
Bhopal experienced nearly 7 inches of rain in 24 hours, the highest this season, causing waterlogging in over 50 areas and flooding in low-lying localities like Udiya Basti. Key roads including Bairasia and Hoshangabad were affected, with some closures due to fallen trees and overflowing rivers. Municipal officials, including Minister Vishwas Sarang and Commissioner Sanskriti Jain, inspected affected zones and directed efforts to clear drains and deploy pumps. Evacuations and relief measures such as food distribution were undertaken amid concerns over drainage and ongoing infrastructure work.
