A strong monsoon system has brought heavy rain to Madhya Pradesh, causing flood-like conditions in Satna and Chitrakoot with the Mandakini river flowing above the danger mark. Schools and colleges in Satna remain closed as 22 districts are on alert.
The India Meteorological Department has attributed the ongoing heavy rain to a strong monsoon system affecting the state. In Satna and neighbouring Chitrakoot, the situation has turned flood‑like as water levels rise rapidly.
The Mandakini river, which flows through the region, is now flowing above its danger mark, prompting local authorities to monitor the situation closely. Residents in low‑lying areas have been advised to stay alert.
A rain alert has been issued for 22 districts across Madhya Pradesh. In Satna, all schools and colleges have been shut for the day, and officials expect the impact of the rainfall to intensify in Bhopal and Ujjain tomorrow.
