Guna Floods: Union Minister for Communications and Development of North Eastern Region, Jyotiraditya Scindia, reviewed the flood situation in Madhya Pradesh’s Guna district and said that about 7,000 people have been provided with compensation.
Heavy rainfall in Madhya Pradesh led to a dangerous situation in Guna district on Friday as well where the front wheel of a passenger bus got stuck on a flooded bridge. The bus was carrying around 2 dozen passengers including women, children, and elderly people.
Later on Saturday morning, a 200-year-old palace near Purani Tehsil in Chhatarpur partially collapsed. The collapse of the old palace was captured on CCTV installed in the area. The footage clearly shows a part of the building crumbling and falling, highlighting the severity of the damage.
There has been a lot of damage in Guna floods. Compensation amount has been given to about 7,000 people,” Scindia added. Union Minister told the media, “By 10:30 pm, I had a video conference with the collectors and SPs of all three districts. After that, I called the concerned Minister… I reviewed each and every issue, like the level of water in our rivers and dams.”
Earlier, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav had held a virtual interaction with flood victims from Shivpuri, Guna, Damoh, Raisen and Chhindwara districts and announced the release of Rs 30 crore as relief assistance to the accounts of over 28,000 affected people across the state.
