Floods In Chhattisgarh

A group of men was seen in a video thrashing a cow with sticks and throwing it off a bridge into a flooded river in Chhattisgarh's Janjgir-Champa district, prompting the police to arrest five men on Friday, officials said.

People living in villages deep in the jungles of Chhattisgarh's Bastar district are trying to get to safer areas amid heavy rainfall, but lack of proper access is forcing them to use dangerous methods to move.

A Chhattisgarh-based potter has designed an earthen lamp that can burn for an entire day. Ashok Chakradhari, who lives in a small village named Kondagaon in Bastar District, has been flooded with orders for the lamp ahead of Diwali

A few hours of heavy rain on Friday flooded a government hospital's COVID-19 isolation ward in Chhattisgarh, where coronavirus cases have been on rise since September. The rain also disrupted the hospital's power supply forcing the staff to shift nine patients - six of them suspected to have Covid and three in need of oxygen - to another floor.

Delhi rain: Heavy rain and thunderstorms in the national capital and neighbouring areas. There is moderate risk of flash floods in the next 24 hours in north Chhattisgarh, east Madhya Pradesh, west Madhya Pradesh, and adjoining areas of Rajasthan and south Gujarat, according to the Central Water Commission.

Heavy rain in Chhattisgarh's Korba district has led to flooding in the lower trenches of the Dipka coal mine and severely affected operations in the country's third-largest open-pit mining operation, which produces over 35 million tonnes of coal every year

A car was washed away after it was caught in flash floods in Chhattisgarh on Saturday, as seen in a terrifying video posted by news agency ANI. Water overflowing from a flooded drain swept the car away, and the driver, along with his son were rescued just in time by passers-by.

Six persons of a family went missing this afternoon as an SUV was swept away while crossing a flooded culvert across Maini river in Chhattisgarh's Jashpur district, police said.

An unprecedented and timely evacuation drive, said to be the country's biggest ever, ensured minimum casualties as Cyclone Phailin slammed into coastal Odisha on Saturday evening. 23 people, including two in neighbouring Andhra Pradesh, have died in the aftermath of the "very severe" storm, which has since weakened.

With Cyclone Phailin moving further inland, there is flood threat in Mayurbhanj and Baripada districts of Odisha and neighbouring states of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Bihar.
