Valsad Flood News: Continuous rainfall in the upstream regions has caused a sharp rise in the water level of the Auranga River in Valsad, prompting authorities to close the low-level bridge on Kailash Road as a precautionary measure. The fast-flowing river has reached the bridge level, making it unsafe for vehicular movement.
