Gujarat Desert Turns Into Sea As Banas River Overflows Amid Torrential Rains

In Suigam, 12 inches of rain lashed like the skies had split open, turning the desert into a turbulent sea.

Gusty winds and torrential downpour created a cyclone-like scene. Roads vanished under water, making driving nearly impossible.

The Tharad-Duathi-Pavdasan road collapsed under heavy water flow. Traffic came to a halt as rain-fed rivers swelled dangerously.

For the third time this season, the Banas River is overflowing. Authorities have warned people to stay away as police monitor the banks.

Nadabet highway scenes showed water everywhere. Suigam looked like an island surrounded by swirling waves. Viral videos captured the chaos.
