 The IMD has come up with a new warning of rainfall in Gujarat especially in Vadodara and its nearby regions from September 2 to September 4. This forecast has been made at a time when the state is recovering from devastating floods that occurred in the last week of August and led to loss of lives and property. 

 IMD has issued a yellow warning for Vadodara for September 2 and orange warning for Bharuch and Narmada districts. The warning has been issued for four districts in Saurashtra including Ahmedabad which has been put under a yellow alert. By September 4, the alert will be for South and Central Gujarat, while Anand and Bharuch districts will be under an orange alert. 

 The new forecast is especially alarming as Gujarat has been flooded with 105% of its average annual rainfall in a few days in August. The recent floods have caused the death of at least 28 people and thousands of residents have been forced to flee their homes. Some of the events that have been reported include a crocodile found on the roof of a house in Vadodara which has brought out the extent of the flooding. 

 As a result of the calamity, the state government has embarked on relief and rehabilitation as well as cleaning up of the affected regions. In Narmada district, short term repair works are being carried out to the roads that have been affected by the rains. These repairs are being done by the Narmada district road and building department after the district collector has made an assessment.

 While the state is struggling to cope with the recent disaster, the possibility of more heavy rainfall in September also poses a problem to the authorities and people living in the affected regions. The situation remains tense, and officials are likely to remain vigilant as they assess the weather and go on with the rescue operations.
