Incessant heavy rainfall in western India’s Gujarat has caused waterlogging in several areas of the city, adding to the hardships of the people.

The incident took place in Surat city on July 22.

Visuals showed flooded streets and stranded vehicles, with residents wading through knee-deep water.

According to reports, Porbandar, Junagadh, and Devbhumi Dwarka districts in Gujarat also faced water logging due to heavy rain, resulting in traffic snarls and the closure of some roads, causeways, and underpasses.

Reportedly, The famous Rokadiya Hanuman temple in Porbandar was inundated, with the priest stating, “Though the rain in Porbandar has stopped for the last 18 hours, there are a few areas that are under water. Apart from a few areas, even the temples are flooded. The famous Rokadiya Hanuman temple is flooded. Even after the rain stopped yesterday night, the Rokadiya Hanuman temple is still 1 foot under water.”

Earlier, the railway track in Gujarat’s Porbandar was affected due to heavy rains and waterlogging on Friday.
