Raipur. The effects of the continuous heavy rains in the capital city of Raipur are now clearly visible on the city's main Kharun River. The Kharun River is in full flow during the rainy season. Due to the continuous rains, the water level in the river is rising rapidly. The river has overflowed due to the increased flow of water in the small and big drains that join the Kharun River. The view of the Kharun River near Mahadev Ghat is very attractive these days, but the rising water level has now become a cause for concern.

Due to heavy rains, the water level of the Kharun River has reached close to the danger mark. The inflow of water into the river is continuing. If the rain continues at this rate, the situation could become even more serious in the future. According to locals, the river's water level is continuously rising, and if the rain does not stop, there is a possibility that water may flow over the Mahadev Ghat Bridge. The rising water level of the Kharun River is being felt most severely in the Mahadev Ghat area. The cremation ground here is flooded. The waterlogging has worsened to such an extent that knee-deep water has accumulated inside the cremation ground premises. Due to this, people coming for cremation are facing a lot of problems.

Relatives are facing difficulties in transporting the bodies to the cremation ground. It has become difficult for people to pass through the waterlogged roads. There are also difficulties in collecting the remains of the deceased after the funeral. Due to continuous rain and waterlogging, arrangements at the cremation ground have been affected. Locals say that the water level of the Kharun River rises every year during the rainy season, but this time the water level has risen rapidly due to continuous rain. People living on the river banks have also become more vigilant. The administration is also monitoring the areas around the river to deal with any emergency.

The Kharun River is an important water source for the city of Raipur. During the rainy season, large numbers of people visit Mahadev Ghat to witness its natural beauty. The river's rising water and strong currents attract visitors, but safety precautions are also essential. The administration urges people to avoid the river's banks and to be cautious in areas with strong currents. During the rainy season, the river's water level can rise suddenly, posing a risk of accidents.

According to the Meteorological Department, rain is expected to continue in the coming days. Consequently, the water level of the Kharun River may rise further. The administration is constantly monitoring the situation. People are being urged to avoid rumors and follow the administration's instructions in case of any emergency. Currently, the Kharun River is in spate, and the Mahadev Ghat area is waterlogged. If the rain continues, the river's water level is likely to rise further in the coming days, which could increase the danger to surrounding areas.
