Surat Faces Severe Flooding from Creek Overflow

Surat Faces Severe Flooding from Creek Overflow

Surat, a city in Gujarat, India, recently experienced severe flooding due to overflowing creeks.

The floods were caused by heavy rainfall and unregulated urban development along the creek banks.

The Mithi and Bhedwad creeks, in particular, overflowed, leading to deep flooding in low-lying areas.

Many people lost their lives, and families were left devastated.

The government has provided compensation to the affected families.

Officials are studying the issue to prevent future floods.
