Amjhera, a small town in Madhya Pradesh, has been severely affected by the heavy rains in the region. The Amjhera Police have been forced to close the Mangod-Manawar road due to the overflowing Khedapati Hanuman Mandir pond. The water levels need to recede before the road can be reopened.
The deluge has had an impact on the residential areas as well, necessitating the use of JCBs to dig trenches and drain the excess water. Maa Amka Jhamka Temple, a popular pilgrimage site, has seen its pond spilling over, compounding the problem.
The Rajarajeshwar Temple has taken on a new look as the caves have become a rapid waterfall, showcasing the power of the rains. Farmers too are facing a difficult situation as their fields become inundated and the risk of crop failure increases.
In a bid to protect the safety and wellbeing of the local community, district collector Priyank Mishra declared a school holiday on Friday. As the rain continues, the people of Amjhera are anxiously waiting for the water to recede so that life can return to normal.
The severity of the rainstorm can be further gauged by the fact that Dhar, located a few kilometres away, received 12 inches of rain in 24 hours! This is a testament to the power of the monsoon and the challenges it poses for the people of Amjhera.
