Continuous heavy rains trigger floods in C. India
持续暴雨引发印度中部洪水
Heavy rainfall has been hitting India for days and led to flooding. Floodwaters inundated buildings and stranded people in many cities in India's central Madhya Pradesh state.
Rains have also damaged electric wires, cutting off power supply in several areas. Transportation is disrupted due to damaged roads, bridges and railway tracks. And dozens of trains were cancelled or running behind schedule due to water on the tracks.
