Choking of drains due to sewage and encroachment reported along Jail Road and Ganeshwadali region. The roads and low-lying settlements are submerged in water. People are being shifted from the lower settlements. Alternative arrangements are being made at various places.
Due to the construction of four lanes on Badnagar Road, the fields near Panchkavasa and Bamansuta have been flooded. The incessant rain resulted in the rise of the water level of the Balwanti River and dams. There is a possibility that the culvert located at the bus stand could sink in some time.
