Madhya Pradesh Weather Update: Heavy Rain Alert For 18 Districts; Orange Alert In Niwari, Tikamgarh, Chhatarpur & Satna

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued heavy rain alerts for September 26-27 in various Uttarakhand districts. Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami directed officials to remain vigilant on September 25. Residents and tourists are advised to exercise extreme caution and travel only if essential, after checking weather and road conditions.

Five districts (Bageshwar, Pithoragarh, Champawat, Nainital, Udham Singh Nagar) have been put under a red alert for heavy rain, while Dehradun, Pauri, Rudraprayag, Chamoli, and Almora face an orange alert. The remaining three districts (Haridwar, Uttarkashi, Tehri) have a yellow alert. For September 27, the red alert is extended to four districts (Dehradun, Tehri, Pauri, Haridwar), with an orange alert for four others (Uttarkashi, Chamoli, Nainital, Rudraprayag), and a yellow alert for the remaining five districts (Bageshwar, Almora, Champawat, Udham Singh Nagar, Pithoragarh).

Forecasted heavy to very heavy rainfall may cause landslides, road blockages, and rising water levels in rivers and streams, leading to waterlogging in the plains. Dhami urged the public to follow local administration guidelines, avoid areas near rivers and streams, and exercise caution on vulnerable roads and landslide-prone regions.

He directed officials to monitor sensitive areas, including river water levels, landslide zones, mountain routes, Char Dham Yatra paths, and tourist destinations, ensuring all preparations are in place for immediate relief and rescue operations.
