Heavy rains over the past 48 hours have caused severe flooding in Gujarat, inundating an industrial park in Ahmedabad.
Rescue teams from the local police and fire department have evacuated more than 400 workers, many of whom were trapped by rising water levels.
The operation, which began early this morning, involved boats and ladders to reach stranded employees.
Authorities have warned that the flood could lead to significant property damage and potential loss of life if the water continues to rise.
State officials have declared a state of emergency in the affected area and are coordinating with the National Disaster Response Force.
They are also monitoring the structural integrity of nearby factories and warehouses.
Residents are advised to stay indoors and avoid the flooded zones until further notice.
Preliminary estimates suggest that the industrial park could suffer losses amounting to millions of rupees, with several manufacturing units already reporting damage to machinery and inventory.
The local government is preparing relief kits for displaced workers and has set up temporary shelters.
