Crocodiles terror in Vadodara
The flood has caused the most devastation in Vadodara. Flood water is spread everywhere, and people are trapped in their homes. The roads are filled with water up to several feet, amid which people are coming out of their homes to get essential goods with the help of tractors. Flood water has entered the houses and shops built in low-lying areas. Due to the overflowing of the Vishramiti river, crocodiles have entered residential areas in Vadodara, which has endangered the lives of people. About 10,000 cars parked on the roads of Vadodara are submerged in water, due to which the residents there are facing huge losses. Looking at the situation, the administration is continuously engaged in relief and rescue operations, and efforts are on to shift people from flood-affected areas to safer places.
