Surat in Gujarat received a whopping over 400 mm rainfall in 36 hours, which created a flood-like situation in several parts of the city on Tuesday as several roads got submerged and residential societies were inundated, throwing normal life out of gear, officials said.

The gravity of the situation can be gauged from the fact that people in some areas arranged for tractors to ferry them from one place to another, while in some other parts of the city, boats were seen operating on flooded roads to help residents cross over to safer areas.

The administration is bracing for more showers as the India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecast heavy to very heavy rainfall at a few places with isolated extremely heavy rains in Surat and some other districts in the state on Wednesday.
