Overview

• Red alerts cover multiple Gujarat districts on September 7 with the IMD warning of extremely heavy rainfall as a depression over south Rajasthan and north Gujarat drives the surge.
• After an SEOC review led by Chief Secretary Pankaj Joshi, 12 NDRF and 22 SDRF teams are positioned across districts with instructions for crowd control at Ganesh Visarjan and vigilance for the GPSC exam.
• Hydrological stress is high with 123 of 206 reservoirs on high alert and Sardar Sarovar at 91.26% capacity, while heavy 24‑hour rainfall was logged across 139 talukas including about 10 inches at Kaprada.
• The IMD has asked fishermen to stay off the sea from September 7–10 due to rough conditions, as coastal Maharashtra remains on alerts and Mumbai’s seven reservoirs reach 96.90% with some overflow and gate operations.
• In Delhi, the Yamuna remained above the 205.33 m danger mark but eased to about 205.56 m on Sunday morning, with relief camps active and forecasts pointing to light to moderate rain and gusty winds.
