Shared by former cricketer Syed Saba Karim on Twitter, the video highlights the harsh impact of incessant rains and flood-like situations in various cities of Gujarat, which have compelled animals to seek new habitats. In his post, Karim wrote, “Gujarat is battered with incessant rains with the flood-like situation in many cities. Even, the King of the Jungle is forced to relocate from its habitat. Pray to God for a speedy recovery and normalisation of the cities affected.”

As a consequence of the rains, Gujarat Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel had to cancel all his scheduled programs and convene an emergency meeting on Saturday.

The continuous and heavy rainfall also triggered severe flooding in residential areas of Junagadh, causing several cattle and vehicles to be swept away in the strong water flow.
