Heavy rain over three days has flooded roads and swollen rivers in Madhya Pradesh's Shivpuri district. The district recorded a 71.95 mm rise in average rainfall between August 6 and 9, reaching 378.31 mm since June 1. Waterlogging affected the Pichhore area on Saturday and Kolaras on Sunday evening. On the Gunjari River bridge, a video shows a man driving a tractor through flowing water with several people aboard. Last year, a young man died trying to cross the same spot during a strong current.
