Heavy rain continues to lash portions of Gujarat, killing seven people and driving nearly 15,000 to flee their homes. More than 300 people have been rescued across many districts as officials carry out large-scale relief and rescue operations.

While the intensity of the rain decreased on Tuesday compared to the previous day, the Saurashtra region remains severely hit. Rescue attempts continue, with six Army columns deployed in districts including Devbhoomi Dwarka, Anand, Vadodara, Kheda, Morbi, and Rajkot. In addition, 14 National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) platoons and 22 State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) units are helping local authorities manage the crisis, reported PTI.
