Gujarat Schools Shut, Hundreds Evacuated Amid Rain Alert

The state of Gujarat in India is expecting very heavy rain for the next two days.

To keep people safe, the government closed all schools and moved more than a thousand residents from low‑lying villages to schools, shelters, and relatives’ homes.

The biggest move was in Mangrol taluka, where 321 people were taken to safety.

A special team from the National Disaster Response Force rescued 27 people trapped in flood water in Chhota Udaipur.

Roads that were unsafe were closed and traffic was redirected.

Emergency teams are on 24‑hour alert, and the government has set up control rooms to monitor the situation.

The plan is to keep everyone safe until the rain stops.
