The Indian Meteorological Department has forecasted heavy rains in Karnataka and Kerala over the next few days. Meanwhile, the rising water level of the Ganga and Varuna rivers has submerged parts of Varanasi in Uttar Pradesh.
Water levels of the Yamuna and Betwa rivers in the Hamirpur district of Uttar Pradesh have increased, which is creating a flood-like situation in the area.
Rains stopped in Bhopal on Tuesday and the power supply was restored after more than 24 hours in parts of the city, which had witnessed tree falls and traffic snarls over the last couple of days due to heavy showers and strong winds.
At least 17 Express trains were cancelled on the Chennai-Vijayawada grand trunk route as the flood overflowed on the railway track at Padugupadu. Three other trains were partially cancelled or diverted.
