Heavy rain continued over several parts of Gujarat on Friday, leading to waterlogging and traffic disruptions in many areas.

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for 13 districts in Central and South Gujarat, with heavy to extremely heavy rainfall likely to continue until tomorrow.
