These days, it is raining continuously in Madhya Pradesh. Due to this, the rivers and streams are in spate again. Recently, a stream in Mohad village, Burhanpur, suddenly got flooded, which has caused major disruptions in the area.

At the time when the flood came, the workers were working in the field. All of them got trapped due to the flood. The youth showed promptness and started rescuing. After half an hour of hard effort, all the people trapped in the water were taken out. Meanwhile, the video is now going viral on social media.

People who got trapped in the water recently shared in a media interaction that when they went to work in the fields in the morning, there was no water in the drain. They had passed through this place. But, while they were working in the field, suddenly flood water came in the drain. The water was about 4 to 5 feet. They got stuck. When the young population of the village came to know about it, they reached the spot with a rope, rescuing them one by one.
