Incessant rains have wreaked havoc on the lives of locals in central India's Madhya Pradesh on August 3. The incident took place in Bairad in the Shivpuri district.

Visuals feature heavy rains lashing the place, causing flood-like situations as the entire region gets inundated within seconds. The water level continues to rise while the raging stream of water swallows everything in it. Fortunately, the rescuers arrive and begin to save the stranded souls amid the gushing water while choppers press into service to reach the risky locations.

Defense aircraft on Monday launched rescue operations to evacuate people stuck in some flooded villages like Harrai, Barkhedi, and some other places in Shivpuri district of Madhya Pradesh as heavy rains continued to lash large parts of the state. Fortunately, people were rescued from the flood-hit village on time while the water level in Parvati river began to rise.

Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) and the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) were in action while helicopters reached the Shivpuri district to evacuate people from the flooded villages. Meanwhile, a red alert has been issued in rain-battered Shivpuri and Sheopur districts.
