As a result, the level of the Narmada river has risen significantly in the last few days and water has now started entering the low-lying villages situated on its banks in Vadodara and Bharuch, relief commissioner Harshad Patel told reporters in Gandhinagar.

“Nearly 5,000 people living in these villages and in low-lying areas of Bharuch town have been shifted to safer places. We urge people not to go near any river. District authorities and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been alerted across the state,” Patel said.
A road leading to Chandod village near the Narmada in Vadodara’s Dabhoi taluka has been shut for traffic to stop people from going near the river, local police said.
People from across the state visit the riverbank in Chandod for ”asthi visarjan” (ashes immersion).
Heavy to very heavy rains lashed most parts of Gujarat on Sunday, raising the water level of various rivers and causing flooding of causeways, residential areas, farms and internal roads of different districts, said officials.
