Watch: Crocodiles spotted on the road after heavy rainfall in Gujarat and Rajasthan

Heavy rainfall has created flood-like conditions in parts of north India, in the midst of which alarming videos have emerged on social media. In Rajasthan’s Kota, crocodiles have been filmed entering residential areas, creating panic among residents.

One such video was shared on social media by IFS officer Susanta Nanda on July 19. The video shows a crocodile, estimated to be 4-feet-long, crossing a road in Rajasthan’s Kota. “Scary… Crocodile crossing the road in Kota, Rajasthan. Effects of Monsoon rains,” Nanda wrote while sharing the clip.
He followed it up with another video. This one shows a large crocodile on a waterlogged road of Gujarat. According to the IFS officer, the video was taken in residential area of Talala, Gir, Gujurat.

According to an NDTV report, crocodile sightings have become an annual affair in Kota during the monsoon season. Last year, more than 20 of these reptiles were rescued and relocated from residential areas.

On Thursday, Rajasthan witnessed light to moderate rains in some parts and heavy rains at isolated places, the Meteorological Department said.

The monsoon is likely to remain active in most parts of the state until next week.
