The rains that were supported to be a sight of relief have turned into a nightmare for Gujarat, as heavy rainfall has unleashed havoc in multiple parts of the state– leaving several cities, specifically in South Gujarat, crippled. Videos of severe waterlogging and flooding are coming forward, raising questions about the state’s drainage system. Amid the same, another video joined the lot, which showed a man standing in chest-deep rainwater in his society at 7 AM. Recording the chaos and the severity of the waterlogging, the man was seemingly addressing his manager in the clip, telling him that it would be “impossible” for him to join the office for the day.Taking a dig at the condition of the society, the man further joked about a “newly inaugurated
river” in the video. “This is my society, and we have just inaugurated a new river. It’s 7 in the morning right now. Look how deep the water is; I won’t be able to come to the office today. We have no idea when this waterlogging will be cleared,” the man was heard saying in the video.The video went viral and left many reacting. Times Now could not confirm the details of the post.Several districts in Gujarat are reportedly witnessing flood-like situations, as the state has been receiving torrential downpours for the last few days. The India Meteorological Department has forecast more rain for parts of South Gujarat. Emergency teams and local authorities are monitoring vulnerable areas, particularly settlements located near rivers and other low-lying zones.Check the viral post: The posts were shared on Instagram, by the handle ‘bankeronbike’.
