The India Meteorological Department has released a heavy rain alert for states flagged as high‑risk, urging residents to take precautionary measures.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rain warning for several states that have been identified as high‑risk for the upcoming monsoon season. The alert, released on Monday, lists specific districts where rainfall intensity is expected to exceed 200 mm within 24 hours.
Officials advise residents in the affected areas to secure loose outdoor items, avoid traveling on flooded roads, and keep emergency supplies ready. The IMD has also urged local authorities to prepare evacuation plans for low‑lying communities.
Meteorologists predict that the heavy rainfall could lead to localized flooding and landslides, especially in hilly regions. The warning remains in effect until the end of the week, with updates to be issued as conditions evolve.
