2017 Gujarat flood
The 2017 Gujarat flood refers to a severe flooding event that occurred in July 2017, primarily affecting several districts in the Indian state of Gujarat. Triggered by heavy monsoon rainfall, the floodwaters resulted in widespread devastation, with significant impacts on both urban and rural areas. The city of Ahmedabad, alongside regions such as Banaskantha and Patan, experienced substantial waterlogging, infrastructure damage, and disruption of essential services. The government declared an emergency, mobilizing rescue and relief operations that included local authorities and the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). The event highlighted vulnerabilities in preparedness and response mechanisms, prompting discussions on disaster management strategies in flood-prone regions of India.
