According to the latest report, three people died at Devbhumi Dwarka, two each at Banaskantha and Kutch, and one each at Rajkot and Surat. On the same day, hundreds of people were also evacuated after swollen rivers and overflowing dams cut off several villages and inundated low-lying areas in the state.

As per the latest reports, Gujarat is facing a severe flood crisis with heavy rains claiming eight more lives on July 24, pushing the state’s rain-related death toll to 61. The situation has prompted the mobilisation of National and State Disaster Response Forces (NDRF and SDRF) to manage the emergency and aid in rescue operations.
