Thirteen NDRF and 22 SDRF teams are deployed, and Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel is overseeing relief operations. In Tripura, the flood death toll has risen to 26, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledging Rs 40 crores for relief.

The IMD forecasts heavy rainfall for Goa, Maharashtra, and Karnataka in the coming days. A deep depression over east Rajasthan is expected to impact South Rajasthan, Gujarat, Saurashtra, Kutch, and parts of Pakistan. Another low-pressure area over Bangladesh and Gangetic West Bengal may affect Odisha and Jharkhand.
