The Indian Meteorological Department has issued heavy rain alerts for more than 18 states as monsoon rains intensify, threatening severe disruptions in the hills.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has released heavy rain alerts for over 18 states as the monsoon season brings intense rainfall across the country.
The alerts come amid reports of severe disruptions in the hill regions, where heavy downpours have already led to road blockages and isolated communities. Local authorities warn of potential landslides and flooding, urging residents to stay indoors and heed official advisories.
Meteorologists predict that the rainfall will continue for the next few days, with the IMD monitoring the situation closely. The daily weather tracker will provide updates as new data arrives.
Residents in affected areas are advised to secure loose objects, avoid unnecessary travel, and keep emergency supplies ready. The government has mobilised disaster response teams in high‑risk zones.
The alerts are part of the IMD’s routine monitoring of monsoon activity and are issued to help mitigate the impact of heavy rains on infrastructure and livelihoods.
