The India Meteorological Department has issued an extremely heavy rain warning for the eastern districts of Madhya Pradesh for 25‑26 September as a strong weather system moves in.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed the eastern part of Madhya Pradesh under an extremely heavy rain alert for 25‑26 September, citing an approaching strong weather system. The system is expected to bring intense rainfall across several districts in the region, prompting the IMD to issue a high‑severity warning.
Affected districts include areas such as Jabalpur, Satna, Rewa, and surrounding zones that lie in the eastern belt of the state. Meteorologists predict that rainfall could exceed 150 mm in 24 hours, raising concerns of flash floods and water‑logging on roads and low‑lying areas.
Local authorities have been instructed to activate emergency response teams, clear drainage channels, and keep relief supplies ready. Residents are advised to stay indoors during peak hours, avoid travel on vulnerable routes, and follow updates from official channels.
The IMD will continue to monitor the system and provide hourly bulletins. Citizens are urged to heed warnings, secure property, and cooperate with disaster management officials to minimise potential damage.
