Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has created flood-like conditions across several areas in Chhattisgarh, impacting daily life in Raipur and Durg districts. The Kharun River’s rising water levels have resulted in significant waterlogging, submerging roads and riverside villages, and causing disruptions in traffic and normal activities.
The situation has become particularly challenging in low-lying areas, where water has entered homes, displacing residents and complicating movement. Roads connecting Raipur, Patan, and Durg through Mahadev Ghat have been significantly affected, with the Raipur-Bhilai route via Mahadev Ghat experiencing severe waterlogging. This has led to disruptions in traffic flow and accessibility.
Villages such as Amleshwar and Khudmuda in Durg district are among the worst hit, with strong water currents making it difficult for residents to navigate submerged roads. The local administration is closely monitoring the situation as further rainfall and thunderstorms are forecasted for the region, raising concerns about continued water accumulation in vulnerable areas.
Authorities are urging residents in affected zones to remain cautious and prepared for potential evacuations if conditions worsen. Efforts are underway to provide relief and assistance to those impacted by the flooding, with a focus on ensuring safety and minimizing disruption to daily life.
