Chief Minister Vijay Rupani and his Deputy Nitin Patel reached Vadodara on Friday late evening to take stock of the situation on day three of the deluge which has thrown the city out of gear, with several parts of the city still inundated and without electricity for over 48 hours.
As the raging Vishwamitri river continued to waterlog several areas, Chief Secretary J N Singh Friday said that 7,000 people have already been rescued and 4,000 have been shifted to safer places.
Addressing a press conference in Gandhinagar, Singh said, “Gujarat Chief Minister has been monitoring the situation in Vadodara.
