Flood-like condition in Satna

Satna and Chitrakoot had witnessed heavy rain on Saturday, with the region facing flood-like conditions. Torrential rain caused rivers and streams to swell, affecting normal life in several areas.

In Satna, Koot’s Ramghat was washed away, while all eight sluice gates of the Ban Sujara Dam were opened to reduce pressure on the dam.

Satna Collector Satish Kumar S told Free Press Journal that around 50 people from 12 badly affected villages were rescued. The district received around 4-5 inches of rain within just 3-4 hours.

Five tehsils were affected by the heavy rain. The Mandakini River also rose sharply and flowed around five feet above the danger mark, creating flood-like conditions in parts of the district.

Yadav said the government would work at full strength during the final phase of the monsoon and make every effort to help people facing difficulties due to the heavy rain.
