The incident comes as Gujarat faces heavy rain and flooding, with 32 deaths and over 32,000 people relocated in four days.
Heavy rainfall has been reported in various districts, with Navsari recording the highest at 356 mm, followed by Dangs, Vadodara, and Anand. The districts of Valsad, Tapi, Navsari, Surat, Narmada, and Panchmahal in South Gujarat have been particularly affected.
Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is closely monitoring the flood situation in the state and has instructed officials to take necessary measures to ensure public safety.
The heavy rainfall has caused significant structural damage. At least 62 houses were destroyed and 271 were partially damaged. Apart from that, 22 huts were affected.
Relief efforts are underway, with the Indian Air Force delivering materials and MI-17 helicopters air-dropping life-saving essentials to stranded residents in Jamnagar and Vadodara.
