Crocodile rescued from Karelibaug area in Vadodara

Forest officials on Wednesday rescued a crocodile from Karelibaug area in Vadodara.

The officials averred towards the possibility that due to swelling of the river the crocodile seeped into a residential area.

Gujarat has received a heavy rainfall which led to a rise in the water level of several rivers causing it to burst into cities creating a flood-like situation across several districts of the state.

Earlier, similar incidents have occurred in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and in Karnataka a few days back in the flood-affected areas.

Due to incessant rain in many parts of India, wild animals are getting their way into residential areas.

After a lull, heavy rains are likely to lash parts of north Gujarat on Thursday and Friday, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) said on Wednesday.

Heavy rains may occur in parts of north Gujarat, especially in Banaskantha, Sabarkantha, Mehsana, Aravalli, Mahisagar and Dahod districts, it said.

The state received heavy rainfall last week, leading to massive rescue operations in flooded areas by the state and Central agencies including the Air Force and National Disaster Response Force.

So far, Gujarat has received 686.19 mm rain, 84.09 per cent of the average annual rainfall of the season, the State Emergency Operation Centre said here Wednesday.

Bharuch district in south Gujarat received the highest rainfall of the season so far at 128.20 per cent of the average, followed by Botad in Saurashtra at 107.50 per cent, Narmada in south Gujarat at 106.70 per cent and Kutch at 101.54 per cent.

Some 60,000 people had to be shifted to safer areas. The government distributed cash assistance to 2.22 lakh people across ten rain-affected districts.
