With heavy rain falling in a short period, waterlogging occurred in Himmatnagar. A State Transport (ST) bus got stuck in the water while passing through the railway underpass in Hamirgadh village. Fortunately, there were no passengers on the bus, and the driver and conductor climbed atop the bus, after which they were rescued by locals with the help of a rope. The water level was such that only the roof of the bus was visible.

In Mehsana, 13 people have been rescued after being stranded in the Gopinala underpass. These individuals were passing through the underpass in a tractor when they got stuck after the vehicle became lodged in the waterlogged area. However, no casualties were reported in the incident, and all the people were evacuated safely.
