IMD Warning In Gujarat 

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a warning about Cyclone ‘Asna,’ a deep depression over the Arabian Sea that has triggered heavy rainfall across Gujarat, leading to flood-like conditions in several areas.

The intense rainfall has also caused the Vishwamitra River to swell, prompting over 300 crocodiles to enter the district.

Adding further, the IMD reports that a depression formed in the Bay of Bengal is moving towards Gujarat and Maharashtra. Heavy to extremely heavy rainfall is forecasted for the Saurashtra, central Gujarat, and south Gujarat regions until September 5.
