हरिद्वार में कांवड़िया बहा, रुद्रप्रयाग में कार पर गिरा बोल्डर:एमपी में नदी-नाले उफान पर, राजस्थान समेत 16 राज्यों में ऑरेंज अलर्ट

According to reports from Dainik Bhaskar, heavy monsoon rainfall has triggered widespread disruption across multiple Indian states, leading to an orange alert being issued for 16 states, including Rajasthan. The weather conditions have caused significant challenges in Uttarakhand, where seven districts experienced heavy precipitation on Wednesday. In Haridwar, local authorities reported that a youth was swept away by the strong currents of the Ganges while collecting holy water; however, he was successfully rescued by an SDRF team stationed at the ghat.

In the Rudraprayag district, the town of Agastyamuni faced severe waterlogging due to torrential rains. Infrastructure was impacted as debris blocked the highway near Silli, and a separate incident near a petrol pump saw a vehicle crushed by a boulder falling from the hillside. Meanwhile, in Madhya Pradesh, the Balaghat region recorded approximately three inches of rainfall over a 24-hour period, causing local rivers and drains, including the Tondiya and Thanegaon nullahs, to overflow and submerge critical infrastructure like the Daitbarra-Mangalegaon bridge.

Tragic incidents were also reported in Chhattisgarh, where the monsoon's impact proved fatal for several individuals. In Gariyaband, a man was swept away while attempting to cross the overflowing Sargi nullah, with his body recovered five kilometers downstream. Additionally, authorities in the Sarangarh-Bilaigarh district recovered the bodies of a couple and their vehicle four days after they were reported missing in floodwaters, while a separate missing person case in Sakti district concluded with the recovery of a body on Wednesday. Local administrations across these regions remain on high alert as weather departments continue to monitor the ongoing monsoon activity.
