Bina River Overflows, Shipra Floods Temples

According to Dainik Bhaskar, an area of low pressure has formed over Northeast Rajasthan, which is extending eastward from northern MP, leading to the current rainy conditions.

In Begamganj area of Raisen, continuous rainfall has caused the overflowing of the Bina River. In Kokalpur village, 150 acres of farmland have been submerged, while the water level of the Narmada River in Barwani has reached dangerous levels. The Parvati River in Sheopur is also steadily rising. In Ujjain, the Shipra River flooded the Ramghat area on Wednesday morning, submerging several temples. Water from the ongoing heavy rainfall has led to a rapid increase in the water level of dams in the Betul district. As a result, two gates at the Parsadoh Dam and one gate at the Satpura Dam, located in Sarni, have been opened on Wednesday.

Over the past 24 hours, Ujjain received 2.67 inches of rainfall, while Umaria recorded 2.11 inches, Gwalior received 1.61 inches, and Raisen observed 1.10 inches of rainfall.
