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. Rivers have overflowed, roads have been submerged, and several villages have been cut off. Teams of the NDRF, SDRF and Indian Army have been deployed for rescue and relief operations. The India Meteorological Department has issued red and orange alerts for several Gujarat districts as more heavy rainfall is expected.

Ahmedabad, Agra and New Delhi are being spruced up for US President Donald Trump's visit. But a project in Ahmedabad has landed in the lap of controversy. A wall has been built to hide a stretch of slum. WION's Palki Sharma tells you more.

Gravitas: A wall that Donald Trump didn't ask for

Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrived in his hometown Vadnagar in Gujarat&#39;s Mehsana district on the second day of his visit to Gujarat.

This is PM Modi&#39;s first visit to his hometown and birthplace since he became prime minister in 2014.

Other milestones of PM Modi&#39;s Vadnagar visit were a visit to his school and the inauguration of a Rs 500 crore multi-speciality medical college.

The Prime Minister&#39;s next stop was the city of Bharuch where he laid the foundation stone for the Bhadbhut Barrage to be built over Narmada River and flagged off the Antyodaya Express between Udhna in Surat&nbsp;and Jaynagar, Bihar.

Excerpts from his speech at a public rally in Vadnagar:

Whatever I am today is because of the values taught by this land

I will go back with your blessings and assure you that I will work even harder for the nation

Immense love showered by people of Vadnagar gives me new energy to serve the nation with more zeal 
 
Chinese scholar Xuanzang visited my village in India and in China he visited President Xi&#39;s village

Doctors may or may not guarantee good health, but cleanliness does

Till the time Prime Minister Atal Bihar Vajpayee&#39;s government was in power 15, 16, 17 years back, our country made its health policy

After that for the next 10 years, a government came that hated development

We brought prices of stents down. Work is constantly being done to make healthcare affordable for the poor

Today I met youngsters from a medical college. We as a society require more doctors who can serve people

Highlights from his speech in Bharuch

We decided that 100% neem coating of urea has to be done so that it can only be used in farming and not in chemical factories

Neem coating of urea helped farmers and stopped corruption as well as theft: PM

However big those who plunder the country become, ultimately only honesty will win&nbsp;
