There is going to be good rain in the northeastern states including Uttarakhand, Himachal, Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, Bengal, Odisha, MP, Chhattisgarh, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. There is maximum tension in the hilly areas. Due to continuous rain there, the mountains can crack and the water of the rivers can reach the danger mark. The administration has already been alerted.

Where is the fear of flash floods more?

There may be sudden floods in some low-lying and hilly areas of Uttarakhand, Odisha, Jharkhand and Chhattisgarh. If you live near these places then do not go near rivers and streams at all. Follow whatever instructions the administration gives.

Why has the problem increased in the mountains?

Continuous rain has become the biggest problem in Uttarakhand and Himachal. Landslides, road closures and traffic jams have become common. If it is not necessary, then postpone the plans for the mountains for the time being.

What should people do?

Do not leave the house without work. If there is lightning, stay away from trees, poles and open ground. Drive slowly, avoid waterlogged roads. Keep watching weather updates on TV and mobile. Rain is important, but life is more important than that. Take care of yourself and your family members.
