High
tidal waves lash Gujarat coasts Surat:
High tidal waves in Arabian Sea lash Gujarat coast. Waves over 8 metres high struck
Surat and Hazira industrial cluster while many low-lying areas were flooded in
knee-deep water. Authorities have issued a warning to people living in the coastal
areas and shifted some families to safer locations. "Hazira Outer as well as Hazira
Inner areas will witness highest tide in month of July. Hazira Outer is expected
to witness 8.18 metres high tides while Hazira Inner is expected to witness 6.19
metres high tide," said Dilip Rawal, Collector, Surat. " If we talk about month
of June, Hazira Outer as well as Hazira Inner witnessed peak tides on 23rd-24th
of the month. However from Friday onwards tides are expected to decrease," he
added. High tides in Arabian Sea resulted in devastating floods in coastal regions
of Surat in 2006, claiming more than 200 lives.
