The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a heavy‑rain warning covering 20 states, with Delhi among the affected regions.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed a heavy‑rain alert across twenty states, citing an approaching low‑pressure system that is expected to bring widespread precipitation. Delhi is listed among the capitals that could experience intense downpours over the next 48 hours.
Meteorologists warn that the system may trigger localized flooding, especially in low‑lying urban areas and river basins. Authorities in the affected states have been instructed to activate emergency response teams and monitor water levels in real time.
The IMD advises residents to stay updated through official channels, avoid travel in flood‑prone zones, and secure property against water damage. Schools and workplaces in the most vulnerable districts may suspend operations if conditions deteriorate.
Public utilities are on standby to address potential power outages and water supply disruptions. Citizens are urged to cooperate with local officials and heed any evacuation orders should the situation worsen.
