Heavy rain lashed several parts of the country over the last few days, resulting in flooding in West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh.

With heavy rains ravaging the Gwalior-Chambal region in Madhya Pradesh, leaving two people dead and damaging bridges and other infrastructure, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan on Thursday said the state has "not seen such devastation in the last 70 years". The flood situation in West Bengal worsened on Wednesday claiming eight more lives taking the toll to 23 as fresh areas went under water. The MET department has issued a warning of heavy to very heavy rainfall over the gangetic West Bengal between August 4 and 6.
