South Gujarat Heavy Rain: CM Deploys Ministers
Gujarat's South Gujarat region is under extreme rainfall with red alerts, evacuations, and school closures as relief operations ramp up; Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel has deployed Deputy CM Harsh Sanghavi, Tribal Development Minister Naresh Patel, and senior officials to Surat, Valsad, and Navsari to oversee the response. The Valsad administration ordered factories to close for the day and rescue teams, NDRF and SMC, continue de-watering and sheltering residents, with IMD warnings persisting for the coming days.
