The city was hit by floods after heavy rainfall. A rise in the level of the Vishwamitri river has caused waterlogging in the city.
The Vadodara airport was shut on July 31 and will remain closed till August 2. A few trains were also reported to be cancelled or diverted due to waterlogging on the tracks.
