IN · Published Sep 19, 2026
Ahmedabad experienced heavy rainfall on Friday, with the city recording an average of 73.2mm (2.88 inches) between 8am and 2pm.
The downpour caused widespread flooding, particularly in areas adjacent to the Sabarmati River, such as Navrangpura, Vasna, Paldi, Kalupur, Sarkhej, and Maktampura.

Impact & Risks

The heavy rainfall disrupted daily life in Ahmedabad, with flooded roads causing traffic jams and water entering residential areas. Key underpasses, including Akhbarnagar, Mithakhali, Parimal, and Makarba, were shut due to waterlogging. Residents in low-lying areas faced significant challenges, and the risk of property damage remains high. The Sabarmati River's elevated water levels further exacerbated the flooding, delaying drainage efforts. Uprooted trees added to the hazards, blocking roads and creating additional risks for commuters.
