Gujarat is facing a severe flood-like situation after relentless heavy rainfall battered several parts of South Gujarat. Around 1,200 stranded people have been rescued and more than 22,000 residents have been relocated to safer areas as districts including Valsad, Navsari, Surat, Ahmedabad, Kheda, Tapi and Dang continue to face the impact of intense rainfall. Valsad’s Umbergaon taluka recorded nearly 1,200 mm rainfall in just 36 hours, causing widespread flooding, waterlogging and disruption to normal life.

The Indian Meteorological Department have issued a red alert for Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Maharashtra, and Gujarat, alongside a regional red alert for parts of Kerala. The expected spell of heavy rain is due to a well-marked low-pressure area over the Bay of Bengal, which has intensified into a depression along with the highly active Southwest monsoon. Heavy rain has triggered a massive wave of landslides across India, from the Southwestern coastal state of Kerala, then in Maharashtra and Western Ghats and the North and North-Eastern part of the Himalayan belts of Jammu and Kashmir, and Arunachal.<h2>Landslides in Kerala</h2>A massive landslide was triggered near Meenakshi Bridge at Kalladi, close to the site of the ongoing Anakkompoyil-Meppadi tunnel connecting Malappuram and Wayanad districts. Tons of excavated mud swamped the tunnel, at least 3 workers have been killed, 7 remain missing, and 9 have been rescued. &nbsp;Kerala Minister of Agriculture T Siddique has called it a “man-made disaster” due to the unscientific stacking of excavated earth at the construction site.&nbsp;
