Heavy rainfall in Gujarat leads to flooding and at least 35 rain-related deaths over a two-day period, according to officials cited by multiple outlets. As floodwaters begin to recede, authorities conduct damage assessments and start post-flood clean-up operations. Most deaths are reported to be linked to drowning and people being swept away by strong currents. The worst-affected areas are identified as Navsari and Valsad districts, which together account for the majority of fatalities. Rescue and relief efforts continue in flood-hit districts, with more than 7,000 people reportedly rescued and about 42,000 residents moved to safer locations. Additional alerts are issued as heavy rain persists in parts of the state, and officials continue monitoring conditions. The reports converge on the same overall toll and the primary causes of death, while emphasizing that response activities and damage surveys are ongoing as waters recede.
