Heavy rain in South Gujarat; over 700 people evacuated to safer regions

Heavy rains pounded many parts of south Gujarat on Sunday, raising the water level in some rivers and causing inundation in various low-lying areas, prompting officials to relocate over 700 people to safer areas in the Navsari and Valsad districts.

There was flooding in some low-lying areas of Valsad after a rise in the Orsang river level. Authorities in Navsari district were also on alert as the Kaveri and Ambika rivers there were flowing above the danger mark, they said.

Very heavy rains lashed Valsad and Navsari districts on Saturday night and Sunday morning, the officials said.

Chhota Udepur and Narmada districts also witnessed very heavy rainfall, with rivers overflowing and low-lying areas getting flooded, they said.

Several other districts of south Gujarat and Saurashtra are also likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall during this period, the IMD said.

In Valsad, more than 400 people were evacuated after the Orsang river level rose and caused flooding in low-lying areas, officials said.

On Sunday, there was some respite in Valsad and the water level receded, following which people started returning to their homes, they said.

Several dams and rivers in south and central Gujarat and Saurashtra region have received heavy rains since Saturday. Many of the rivers are flowing near the danger mark, keeping the respective administrations on alert.

Dharampur taluka in Valsad district and Vansda in Navsari received 216 and 213 mm rainfall, respectively, in the 24 hour period till 6 am on Sunday, as per the data shared by the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC).
