Floods in central India have devastated swathes of the countryside, including this incredible video of a riverside shop-front that was swept away in the roiling waters.

Eyewitness video shows multiple shops collapsing into a canal in mere seconds as the banks beneath them give way in Kukreshwar, Neemuch district of Madhya Pradesh state on August 16.

A number of wooden and tin shop stalls were lost though no casualties have been reported in the incident.

According to locals the boundary wall of the canal was damaged due to the floodwater.
