Nine people were killed and hundreds were shifted to safety on Wednesday as torrential rain continued to lash various parts of Gujarat. According to a government statement, while three people died at Devbhumi Dwarka, two each died at Banaskantha and Kutch, and one each at Rajkot and Surat.

On Wednesday, hundreds of people were evacuated after swollen rivers and overflowing dams cut off several villages and inundated low-lying areas in the state.
