Heavy rainfall has caused widespread flooding in Jharkhand, with several rivers surpassing danger thresholds. As a result, six flights from the state were cancelled.
Recent heavy rains have triggered widespread flooding across Jharkhand, with multiple rivers breaching their danger levels and inundating nearby villages and towns. The sudden rise in water levels has disrupted local transport and posed risks to residents in low‑lying areas.
In response to the escalating water levels, the state government has issued advisories urging people to stay indoors and avoid crossing flooded roads. Emergency services are on standby to assist stranded individuals and clear debris from critical routes.
The aviation authorities announced the cancellation of six flights scheduled to depart from or arrive at airports in Jharkhand. The cancellations were made to ensure passenger safety amid the deteriorating weather conditions.
Officials have set up relief camps and are coordinating with the National Disaster Response Force to provide shelter, food, and medical aid to affected communities. The situation remains fluid, and authorities are monitoring river levels closely.
