Heartbreaking scenes from Surat, Gujarat. 🌧️💔

Heavy and relentless rainfall has severely waterlogged the famous Poddar Arcade, known as Surat's largest mobile market. The basement and ground floors were completely submerged, destroying mobile phones, accessories, and electronics worth lakhs of rupees in just a matter of hours.

For the shopkeepers, it wasn't just inventory that drowned, but their lifelong hard work, dreams, and daily livelihood. While the floodwaters will eventually recede, recovering from this immense financial loss will take these vendors months, if not years.
