A hair-raising video has emerged from Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh, showing a car being swept away in a fast-flowing drain. The incident occurred in Baraytha village, under the Banda police station area, where heavy rainfall on Wednesday caused the water flow in a drain to become so b that it swept away a car. Three youths from Uttar Pradesh were in the car and narrowly managed to save their lives.
Fortunately, the three youths showed presence of mind during the accident and jumped out of the car, escaping to safety. The entire incident was captured on camera by the villagers present at the scene, and it is now going viral on social media. Viewers are left with goosebumps, and people are expressing concern about the incident.
Car swept away in the b water current
The accident took place on the Ripata drain near Khairwaha village. According to information, the three youths were on their way to their home in Madawara. The water flow on the drain was quite b, but they attempted to cross it in their car. However, the current was so b that the car lost its balance and began to be swept away. Recognizing the situation, the youths immediately jumped out of the car and managed to save their lives.
After the incident, an administrative team reached the spot and took cognizance of the entire matter, appealing to people not to attempt such risky maneuvers during the rainy season. The administration has warned people to avoid driving vehicles across drains or bridges during periods of b water flow.
Risk of flooding increased due to heavy rainfall
The monsoon is currently fully active in the state, and heavy rainfall is occurring in many areas. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued Yellow and Orange alerts for heavy to very heavy rainfall in various districts of Madhya Pradesh. These include Sagar, Jabalpur, Indore, Vidisha, Narsinghpur, Dhar, Ratlam, Guna, Chhatarpur, Gwalior, and Shivpuri, among more than 25 other districts.
The Meteorological Department said that the maximum temperature in the capital Bhopal is likely to remain between 28 to 30 degrees Celsius and the minimum temperature between 22 to 24 degrees Celsius. Due to the continuous rainfall, the water level of the rivers is also rising, leading to the risk of flooding.
The administration has appealed to people to remain alert, avoid unnecessary travel, and refrain from going to waterlogged or flood-affected areas.
