After incessant rainfall, water bodies like rivers and drains in Madhya Pradesh have swelled to alarming levels.
Massive damage occurred in the Datia district where at least three bridges which connect it to the city of Gwalior caved completely or partially due too heavy current of water coming from Manikheda dam.
A stunning video that emerged from the region showed a bridge over the Sindh River near Ratangarh break down and washed away by the immense current.
