A nearly three-decade-old masonry bridge over Sabli river in Keshod taluka of Junagadh caved in after heavy rain on Monday, causing hardships to locals.

“The bridge was already old and heavy vehicles were prohibited from plying on it. A warning sign was also placed near it as it was already damaged. Nobody was injured after it caved in,” he said.
After heavy rains on Monday, parts of several districts in the Saurashtra region were water-logged, causing inconvenience to residents. Roads and agricultural fields were flooded in many districts due to the rainfall, the official said.
Some monsoon rivers in the region were in spate and the Droneshwar dam in Gir Somnath overflowed, they said.
On Sunday, many parts of Saurashtra received heavy to very heavy rainfall, with isolated parts also getting extremely heavy rains, as monsoon remained “vigorous” over the region, IMD’s Ahmedabad centre said in a release.
The low-pressure area formed over Kutch and neighbourhood on Sunday now lies as a “well-marked low-pressure area” over Saurashtra and neighbourhood, it said.
The IMD has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall over the next three days at isolated places in Devbhoomi-Dwarka, other districts in Saurashtra and in parts of North and South Gujarat.
