The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a heavy rain warning covering 22 cities and districts of Uttar Pradesh, effective for the next 48 hours as the monsoon trough moves eastward across the region. The alert signals the likelihood of intense rainfall that could overwhelm local drainage systems.
Local authorities have been instructed to activate emergency response teams, clear clogged drains, and disseminate safety advisories to residents. Municipal bodies are also coordinating with police and health officials to monitor water‑logging and ensure that vulnerable areas receive prompt assistance.
