New Delhi: Many cities in Gujarat are experiencing heavy rain, leading to a flood-like situation in the state. In Vadodra, even as rains took a pause the low-lying areas were flooded after the Vishwamitri river which flows through the city breached its banks and entered residential localities.
Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav took to social media and shared a video via Instagram story stating that she was stuck in a very bad situation due to the floods but was rescued by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). In the video, the NDRF officials were seen rescuing a few people on a boat as there was a lot of water in buildings and roads.
