WATCH: Heavy Rains Turn Indore Roads Into Rivers; Netizens Flood Internet With Reels

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Indore is praised internationally for its cleanliness, however it is facing severe consequences of intermittent, but heavy rains! Overflowing drains, water-clogged roads...and the residents’ plight have become the talk of the town. 

Notably, Indore has recorded 32 inches of rainfall this monsoon season. Within just 4 days of September, the city received 7 inches, surpassing the monthly average of 6 inches. With 25 days still left, the seasonal target of 38 inches is expected to be exceeded easily.

Meanwhile, incessant rains have wreaked havoc in the cleanest city 'Ahilya Nagri', disrupting normal life.

People are being forced to walk and drive through overflowing roads, prompting netizens to raise the issue on social media through reels.

Water accumulated up to waist

One video shows water rising waist-deep, submerging half of an auto-rickshaw in Indore’s Ban Ganga area. Meanwhile, another captures Gangaur Ghat overflowing after overnight rains.

Several reels trolling the city also surfaced on social media. One of them termed Indore roads as ‘Indore Ki Nadi.’

Another video shows a youth using a children’s bathtub to wade through a road completely submerged in water, for fun!

Another reel said, “Office jate jate mera visarjan ho jaye to hairan mat hona…(Don’t be surprised if my immersion happens while going to office).”
