Flooding in Gadchiroli district

Overview

Heavy rainfall, including precipitation in neighboring Chhattisgarh, has caused severe flooding in the Gadchiroli district of Maharashtra, specifically affecting the Bhamragad region. The flooding was triggered by rising water levels in rivers and streams, such as the Kharun River overflowing in Chhattisgarh.

Local administration and NDRF teams evacuated approximately 525 citizens to safer locations. Emergency rescue operations included transporting an ailing student from Binagonda Ashram School and conducting medical airlifts for critically ill patients, including those with sickle cell disease, via helicopter.

While floodwaters have begun to recede in some areas and conditions are gradually improving, authorities have advised residents in low-lying areas to remain vigilant and avoid traveling near riverbanks or through flooded paths.
