In Jaora, roads turned into rivers after 76 mm of rain in just 30 minutes. Water overflowed from rooftops and flooded lower colonies in Mandsaur, prompting the municipal team to operate pump houses for hours. According to IMD scientist Dr Divya E Surendran, two active weather systems—a trough from the Arabian Sea to the Bay of Bengal and a cyclonic circulation over northeast Madhya Pradesh—are expected to keep the monsoon vigorous across the state for at least five more days.
