The India Meteorological Department has placed Jharkhand under an orange alert for September 25, forecasting heavy rain and thunderstorms across the state.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued an orange alert for Jharkhand on September 25, warning of widespread heavy rainfall and thunderstorm activity. The advisory follows the department's assessment of an approaching low‑pressure system that is expected to intensify over the region.
Meteorologists anticipate that the rain could be intense in the northern and central districts, with gusty winds and frequent lightning strikes. Flood‑prone areas, especially along river basins, may experience rapid water rise, raising the risk of flash floods and landslides.
Authorities have been instructed to activate emergency response teams, clear drainage channels, and keep relief supplies ready. The public is urged to avoid low‑lying areas, secure loose objects, and stay updated through official bulletins and local media.
IMD will continue to monitor the system and issue further updates as the situation evolves, advising residents to remain vigilant throughout the day.
