Panic gripped Veerdhandi village in Koutala mandal after a crocodile was sighted on the banks of the Wardha river on Monday. Farmers halted agricultural activities and urged officials to prevent any risk to human life.
Rainwater touched beams of bridges built across Wardha river at Hudkili and Podsa of Chandrapur district and Venkatraopet in Sirpur (T) mandal resulting in suspension of traffic on these structures.
