The India Meteorological Department (IMD) warned about Cyclone ‘Asna’ - a deep depression over the Arabian Sea that has also been causing heavy rain in Gujarat. The heavy downpour caused flood-like situations across the state.
It also caused swelling of the Vishwamitra River, home to over 300 crocodiles, which led to the reptiles invading the district. Social media visuals show scary scenes of crocodiles perched on top of a house or crossing a boundary wall with prey in their mouths.
