Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Chief minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan will visit Narmadapuram on Tuesday afternoon to review the flood-like situation arising due to the incessant rains. He will reach there at about 1.30 pm, as per the CM secretariat.

The CM continued to monitor the situation across the state amid heavy rains since morning and is in constant touch with the state control room. He issued necessary instructions to the authorities to tackle the situation and provide relief to people.
