Millions of people have been badly hit by a major flood in the central Indian state of Madhya Pradesh, which witnessed incessant rains for more than 36 hours during the last three days. The Indian army, air force, National Disaster Relief Force (NDRF) and State Disaster Relief Force (SDRF) are engaged in rescue and relief operations in the worst-affected Gwalior-Chambal region. “The situation here is very bad. We are stranded in a flooded neighborhood and cut off from other areas,” Father John Xavier, former vicar general of Gwalior Diocese, told UCA News.
