A video capturing the severe flooding in surat, Gujarat, has gone viral on social media, drawing attention to the city's recurring waterlogging issues. The video, set against the backdrop of a commercial area with shops like "Patel Perfumes" and "Shri yogi Life," shows a man sitting on a makeshift raft made of a mat, navigating through knee-deep floodwaters.
The post's caption sarcastically compares the flooding to a tourist attraction, suggesting that surat offers a similar experience to the maldives without the expense, while simultaneously criticizing the congress party for attempting to damage the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) reputation. This commentary has resonated with many users, leading to a mix of humor, outrage, and concern over the city's infrastructure.
The video has prompted discussions on the effectiveness of urban planning and disaster management in surat, a city known for its industrial and commercial significance. Despite efforts to position surat as a smart city, incidents like this highlight ongoing challenges with drainage and flood control, especially during the monsoon season. The flooding has disrupted daily life, with water entering homes, shops, and offices, as reported in recent news articles.
The incident serves as a stark reminder of the need for effective infrastructure to mitigate the impacts of natural disasters, particularly in rapidly growing urban centers like Surat.
