The state meteorological department has warned that Jharkhand will face continuous rain and thunderstorms for the next four days, prompting authorities to alert residents.
The Jharkhand State Disaster Management Authority (JSDMA) and the India Meteorological Department (IMD) have forecast a four‑day spell of moderate to heavy rainfall accompanied by frequent thunderstorms across the state, beginning shortly. The system is expected to affect most districts, with higher intensity in the plateau and forested regions.
Officials have urged people to secure loose objects, avoid travel on flooded roads, and stay updated through local media. Schools and offices in vulnerable areas may be closed if conditions deteriorate, and emergency services are on standby.
The prolonged wet spell could raise the risk of waterlogging, landslides in hilly zones, and disruption to agricultural activities. Residents in low‑lying areas are advised to keep emergency kits ready and follow instructions from local authorities.
