Officials had earlier instructed teams to remain alert and inspect flood-prone areas, but on ground, many places still lack basic safety arrangements.
People have been advised to avoid flooded paths and not to cross overflowing rivers or waterlogged roads under any condition.
The road in Datia was recently filled with loose stones and mud, which became slippery during the rain. Thankfully, no one was hurt, and locals helped bring the children to safety before the vehicle was removed.
