The flood situation in Madhya Pradesh is improving. However, due to the water releasing from other places including Kota Barrage in Rajasthan, the danger is not yet to be completely averted.
The Mandsaur district has worst affected by floods. 150 villages and around 800 shops of this district have suffered significant damage while 13 thousand people have become homeless.
Meanwhile, the army is evacuating people by motorboats from flood-hit villages in Sheopur, Bhind, Morena and other districts to safer places.
Meanwhile, the state Home Minister Bala Bachchan today said that the Central Government should immediately provide assistance of Rs. 2,000 crore to Madhya Pradesh to help the flood victims.
At the same time, the BJP has announced a sit-in demonstration on September 20 across the state in support of the flood-affected farmers.
In Rajasthan, rescue operations continue in the flood-hit districts of the state. Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla on Tuesday took stock of the situation and directed administration to provide civil supply immediately to the affected people.
He is also visiting the rural areas and surveying the loss of the crops.
Many villages of Kota, Sawai Madhopur and Dhaulpur districts still covered with water.
Kota is most affected, where water supply has also been disturbed badly in the city and power supply is disrupted in several villages.
As a result of decreasing of water level in Chambal River, 4 gates of Kota Barrage have been shut down a short while ago. It may be expected now that situation will be improved soon.
