    Gujarat Weather News:
    In Halol, Panchmahal, torrential rains began around 1 PM on Tuesday. In just four hours, 6 inches of rain poured down, flooding large areas of the town and turning many low-lying areas into waterlogged zones. Water gushed into homes and shops, causing damage worth lakhs of rupees. In addition, a 50‑year‑old woman lost her life after being swept away by the strong current.

    Power Supply Disruption:
    All streets in Halol were submerged knee‑deep, with several two‑wheelers swept away. Residents in flooded areas feared for their lives as normal life came to a standstill due to the heavy downpour. Strong winds brought down trees, electric poles, and cables, leading to a prolonged power outage across most of the town.

    Woman Drowns in Floodwaters:
    The water flow from the Yamuna Canal near Pavagadh surged, and a 50‑year‑old woman sitting in a cabin near the Badshah Bawa Dargah was swept away along with the structure. After an intensive search, she was found a short distance away and rushed to a hospital, where she was pronounced dead.

    Main Roads Flooded:
    Several main roads — including Pavagadh Road, Bombay House Trijunction, the Bus Stand area, Arad Road, Jyoti Circle, Halol‑Pavagadh Bypass Road, and the Dawda area — were inundated with knee‑to‑waist‑deep water. The flooding caused road closures, leaving many people stranded. Residents expressed anger towards the administration for the lack of adequate drainage and flood prevention measures.
