Heavy overnight rains pounded Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar in Gujarat throwing life out of gear on Thursday morning, as the death toll touched 129 in the state devastated by heavy flooding since the monsoon rains began a month ago.


The downpour continued in other parts of the state as well affecting relief and rescue operations in worst-hit north Gujarat region where many people, including 17 of a family, drowned in floodwaters.

Indian Air Force helicopters carrying food and water packets for the people in the flood-affected Banaskantha and Patan districts, where more than 5000 houses in 800-odd villages are under water, could not take off due to bad weather conditions this morning. So far, more than 50,000 people have been rescued in the two districts.


According to the state disaster control room, Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar cities recorded 7 and 8 inches of rainfall over the night, respectively. Four people were injured in rain-related accidents.

Our aim is of supporting the victims, who endure the state of homelessness due to disastrous floods. The main objective of GiveAway is to focus on product based aid to complement the relief and rehabilitation activities. We have also partnered with Saath.org to facilitate the distribution of relief materials.
