Ambajhari dam in Nagpur overflowed due to heavy rain in many parts of Nagpur. National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) rescued people from flooded houses and streets. Footage from the rain-hit areas showed a team of the NDRF carrying out rescue operations, helping to evacuate people from flooded houses and streets.
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis said on Saturday that two army units have reached the Ambazari region. Devendra Fadnavi shared on social media platform X that he is continuously monitoring the rains in the city.
"Ambajhari lake is overflowing due to incessant rain." 110 mm of rain fell in 3 hours, which is very high. Ambajhari Dam is overflowing. There is incessant rain in many areas... 15 people have been rescued so far. It mostly affects the surrounding low-lying areas. Other parts of the city are also affected,” said his office in X..
Heavy rains in the city left low-lying areas inundated and efforts were initiated to evacuate people of Nagpur from these pockets to safer places. Rescue teams had to wade through water-logged roads at several places during the rescue operation.
