The Southwest Monsoon has been vigorous over several cities in Gujarat, leading to a flood-like situation. Vadodra is grappling with flooding after the Vishwamitri river breached its banks and entered residential localities. India’s star cricketer Radha Yadav was amongst several people who were rescued by the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) in the flooded city.
The left-arm spinner on Wednesday shared a video via her Instagram story, stating that she was stuck in a ‘very bad situation’ and was rescued by the NDRF.
In the video, the NDRF officials could be seen carrying a few people on a boat as buildings, roads and vehicles remain submerged.
“We were stuck in a very bad situation. Thank you so much #NDRF for rescuing us,” Radha wrote on her Insta story.
Former India all-rounder Irfan Pathan also took to the X and asked people in Baroda to stay indoors.
“Stay safe, Baroda. Flooding is widespread, so please stay indoors for your own safety,” Pathan wrote.
