The Indian Meteorological Department has issued a yellow alert for heavy rainfall across Madhya Pradesh, warning of possible flooding and disruption.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has placed Madhya Pradesh under a yellow alert for heavy rain, signalling that the state can expect moderate to intense precipitation over the coming days. The alert covers the entire state, with particular emphasis on low‑lying districts that are prone to waterlogging.
Authorities have advised residents to stay vigilant, secure loose items, and avoid unnecessary travel, especially in areas where drainage systems are known to be weak. Local disaster management teams are on standby to respond to any emergencies that may arise.
The IMD will continue to monitor weather patterns and update the alert level if conditions worsen. Citizens are urged to follow official updates through television, radio and online portals.
The yellow alert remains in effect until the IMD determines that rainfall intensity has reduced to safe levels, at which point the alert will be downgraded or lifted.
