Floods in Gujarat, India, have killed at least 28 people and displaced over 24,000 since Sunday due to heavy rains. Overflowing rivers and reservoirs have worsened the situation, prompting rescue operations by the Indian army and national disaster teams. The state remains on high alert as heavy rains are expected to continue. The floods have disrupted transport, with 48 trains cancelled, and damaged crops extensively. Areas in the Saurashtra region are particularly affected. The weather department anticipates a reduction in rain by September 1 as the deep depression in the Arabian Sea shifts.
