Rise In Narmada River Water Level
The relentless rainfall has also led to a sudden rise in the water level of the Narmada River, causing the river to overflow and submerge nearby ghats. The continuous downpour in Seoni and surrounding districts is contributing to the rising water levels. The Narmada, along with its tributaries like Gaur and Temar, is showing a ferocious flow.
For the first time in 20 years, the water level has reached the Navgraha Temple at Gaurighat. The sudden rise in water levels late at night left people with little time to react.
The water level began to rise rapidly after 5 AM, submerging shops, platforms, and the seats of priests at the ghats. Boat operations have been halted, and barricades have been set up to prevent people from accessing the flooded areas.
