The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) released a weather advisory this week, highlighting the risk of heavy rainfall, flooding and landslides across several states. The warning, issued ahead of the monsoon season, advises residents and travelers to remain vigilant and avoid high‑risk areas.
IMD officials recommend checking local weather updates regularly and following instructions from state disaster management authorities. The department has urged people to secure loose objects, avoid low‑lying roads and stay away from riverbanks during peak rainfall.
Travelers planning to move across the affected regions are advised to keep emergency contacts handy and to monitor real‑time alerts on the IMD website and official social media channels.
The warning underscores the need for preparedness as the monsoon brings intense rainfall that can trigger flash floods and landslides in vulnerable districts.
