Heavy rainfall in Rewa caused significant flooding, necessitating the evacuation of over 700 people into eight relief camps. While water levels in the Behar and Bichhiya rivers began to recede, allowing for some resumption of traffic in areas like Govindgarh, authorities remained on alert due to high river currents and submerged locations.

Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav subsequently visited the region to review disaster management efforts. He issued directives to ensure relief camps maintained adequate food, water, and medical supplies, and ordered the chlorination of water sources to prevent disease. His instructions also included restoring electricity, surveying crop damage to assist farmers, and providing veterinary services for livestock in the affected areas.
