Bridges submerged, boats on roads: Heavy rain hits normal life across MP
Bhopal: Heavy rainfall over the past 24 hours has thrown normal life out of gear in parts of Madhya Pradesh. Several bridges, roads, ghats, and low-lying areas are submerged, severely affecting normal life in the town. The situation remained worst, to say the least, in Vindhya region. At Chitrakoot town in Satna district, a boat was seen moving at the Lanka trisection on Saturday morning, highlighting the alarming rise in water levels of the Mandakini river following continuous heavy rainfall. In Maihar town, several areas remained inundated, and a portion of the boundary wall of the newly built Rewa airport also collapsed. In Chitrakoot, a swollen river encroached upon areas near Ramghat and Jankighat, prompting the local administration to issue warnings and restrict public movement near the banks. Several shops and makeshift structures were flooded, while residents living close to the river were advised to move to safer locations. "Around 200 pilgrims who had came to Chitrakoot were rescued. Food arrangements were made for most of them. Around 50 shopkeepers were also rescued," SDM Majhgawan, AP Dwivedi, told TOI. In other districts of Vindhya, Maihar remained affected as waterlogging was reported from several areas of the town.

Cracks In Rs 500-Crore Project? Airport Wall Collapses After Rain In Madhya Pradesh's Rewa
Rewa, Madhya Pradesh: A section of the boundary wall of the newly-constructed Rewa Airport in Madhya Pradesh, built at a cost of Rs 500 crore, has collapsed barely months after completion, raising serious questions about construction quality and flood preparedness of one of the most ambitious infrastructure projects in the state. According to locals, the ground beneath the wall gave way due to heavy rainfall, causing a portion of the airport's outer boundary to crumble during the night. This is not the first time the boundary wall has failed - a similar breach was reported during the rains last year, even before the airport became operational. Rewa Airport was envisioned as a game-changer for the Vindhya region. With Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurating the project virtually from Varanasi, the airport was completed in a record 18 months on 323 acres of land acquired from five villages. The facility boasts a 2,300-meter-long runway and is currently operating two flights connecting Rewa to Bhopal via Khajuraho and Jabalpur. While it now handles only 19-seater aircraft, the plan is to scale up to 72-seaters in the coming months. The airport has been licensed by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) and was designed to serve the region for the next 50 years. But even before it could take off in full swing, its foundation had begun to sink, literally. In the past 24 hours, Rewa has received 8 inches of relentless rainfall. The Bichhiya and Bihar rivers, lifelines of the district, have overflowed, submerging large parts of the city. At least four localities along the riverbanks are now inundated, with three to four feet of water inside homes and shops. Shockingly, even the house of Gudh MLA Nagendra Singh was not spared. Speaking to reporters, Mr Singh said, "Rewa city has been turned into a pond. Unless the river is deepened and the floodplain is managed, this problem will continue year after year."
