In Kheda district, while no new rain was reported, the Shedhi river’s surge caused flooding in parts of Kheda town and nearly 20 villages in the surrounding talukas.Devbhumi Dwarka district, which faced extremely heavy rainfall, still has flooded areas in Dwarka, Okha, and Jam Raval, said Collector GT Pandya.“Pumps have been installed to drain water from buildings, and the Vartu dam’s overflow is contributing to waterlogging, though flow levels are decreasing. Power has been restored to 111 out of 132 villages that experienced outages,” Pandya added.The Rajkot Division of Western Railway (WR) cancelled three trains on Friday due to waterlogging in the Dwarka-Gorinja section.In Bharuch, about ten villages in Jambusar and Amod talukas remain submerged since Thursday due to water from the swollen Dhadhar river.At least 36 people have lost their lives in rain-related incidents across the state.The floods have displaced over 32,000 people across state, with around 1,200 rescued from flood-hit areas across the state.
