MP CM Shivraj Chouhan commented on the situation.

We are receiving his loving support and blessings.

I am happy that rescue operations were conducted throughout the night.

All 5 people in Sehore's Narela were rescued at 2:30 at night.

Shajapur, Devas... There are some problems but there is no need to worry because our personnel of SDRF are deployed.

Wherever needed, we'll take the Army's help.

We won't allow loss of life in any part of the state.

My appeal is that people shouldn't be stubborn when the administration tries to evacuate them.”
