WATCH | Flood-like situation in parts of Gujarat, Yamuna above danger level again
Flood-like situation across various parts of India
The western Indian state of Gujarat has been lashed by heavy monsoon rains, triggering a flood-like situation in Junagarh and Navsari districts of the state. Dramatic visuals showed a flooded Ahmedabad airport with knee-deep water as passengers were asked to confirm their flights by airlines before arriving.
The pouring water managed to submerge the Air Traffic Controllers (ATC) office, as well as the pick-up and drop area at the domestic airport. ATC is responsible for all flight movements before touchdown and after departure.
“Due to heavy rains and water logging around the airport, we request all passengers to check with their respective airlines before starting their journey. Passengers are also advised to avoid parking at the airport facility." Ahmedabad Airport shared the information on its official Twitter page.

According to reports, Ahmedabad received 101 mm of rain in just two hours on Saturday while Navasari district witnessed over 200 mm of rainfall in a few hours. Videos going viral on social media platforms showed localities being flooded by the water while cars were swept away by the strong currents.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah took to Twitter to state he had spoken to Gujarat Chief MinisterBhupendra Patel about the flood-like situation.
"Spoke to Gujarat CM Shri @Bhupendrapbjp Ji, about the flood-like situation occurring in various parts of the state due to the recent heavy rainfall. Also had a discussion with LG of Delhi, Shri VK Saxena Ji about the water level in the Yamuna River. Ample numbers of SDRF and NDRF teams are available to help the people in need," tweeted Shah.
Flood looms in Delhi
While the usually arid state of Gujarat faces floods, the capital city of New Delhi grapples with another flood-like situation. The Yamuna River crossed the danger mark around 7 am on Sunday (July 23), touching the 205.81 metres mark.
According to reports, fresh spells of heavy rain in parts of Uttarakhand may have led to a rise in Yamuna's water level again.
Since the onset of the rainy season, Delhi has been struggling with waterlogging and flooding after heavy rain in the upper catchment areas of Yamuna led to the river swelling to record levels. On July 13, the water level was at 208.66 metres, surpassing theprevious record of 207.49 metres set in September 1978.
