Three feared drowned, 125 evacuated as heavy rain lashes Vidarbha

Another person was reportedly drowned in Bramhapuri tahsil of Chandrapur district.

At Aratatondi village in Wadsa tahsil, more than 100 people were rescued from the flood-like situation while the same number of people were believed to be stuck. “They are not ready to go out, but the situation is under control,” Singh said.

The entire Bhamragarh tahsil was cut off from the district headquarter due to flooded Parlkota and Indravati rivers, Singh said.

In Nagbhid tahsil of Chandrapur district, 13 people were rescued from flood waters near Bamni village.

With very heavy shower alert being sounded for Saturday, officials are gearing up for more exigencies.
