<p>The Ministry of Home Affairs has constituted an inter-ministerial team to assess the damage caused by <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/gujarat-rains-ndrf-rescues-95-people-as-flood-like-situation-continues-23382805" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">rainfall and floods in Gujarat</a>.</p>
<p>The team will shortly visit the flood-affected districts of Gujarat, which was hit by heavy to extremely heavy rainfall between August 25 and 30 caused by a deep depression formed over Rajasthan and Gujarat, according to an official statement.</p>
<p>At least 25 people have died in rain-related incidents across the state on August 26 and 27.</p>
<p>The statement said the MHA has constituted an <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/gujarat-rains-24-crocodiles-rescued-from-vadodaras-residential-areas-between-aug-27-29-23384559" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">inter-ministerial central team</a> (IMCT) led by the executive director, the National Institute of Disaster Management (NIDM), to assess the damage caused by rainfall and floods in Gujarat, the statement said.</p>
<p>Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan were also affected by heavy to very heavy rainfall. Multiple spells of heavy rains, cloudbursts and landslides have caused extensive damage in Himachal Pradesh this year.</p>
<p>The MHA is in touch with senior officers of these states, and will depute IMCT there as well, if the severe damages are reported by them, the statement said.</p>
<p>During this monsoon, some other states have been affected by heavy rainfall, floods, cloudbursts and landslides.</p>
<p>Under the leadership of <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/news/india-news/article/gujarat-rains-indian-army-swiftly-mobilises-its-resources-for-flood-relief-operations-23382099" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Prime Minister Narendra Modi</a>, the central government is fully committed to providing all possible help to affected states, the statement said.</p>
<p>As per the decision taken by the Union Home Minister Amit Shah, in August 2019, the MHA, this year, constituted IMCTs which have visited flood and landslides-affected states of Assam, Kerala, Mizoram, and Tripura in advance for on-spot assessment of the damage without waiting for their memorandum.</p>
<p>The IMCT for Nagaland has also been constituted, which will visit the affected areas of the state shortly.</p>
<p>In the past, the IMCT used to visit the disaster-affected states only after the receipt of a memorandum from the state government, the statement said.</p>
