Weather Update: The Metrological Department of India predicted heavy to extremely heavy rainfall in several parts of Delhi, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Rajasthan, Punjab, and Jammu and Kashmir.
The IMD stated that a western disturbance was the cause of an intense spell of rain yesterday in Delhi. The national capital of India faced the first spell of heavy rainfall of the season.
The rainfall resulted in chaos and tragedy struck as a 58-year-old woman died because of the rainfall. Several people in Rajasthan also lost their lives courtesy of accidents because of rain.
Delhi Drowns In Water
Many parts of the city were waterlogged which led to traffic jams in several areas. It was a record-breaking rainfall for the national capital. The last time Delhi faced this amount of rainfall was back in 1982.
The NCR region also witnessed very intense rainfall. Gurgaon was affected the most by this outrage as several roads were completely blocked. The after-effects of rain will be visible in Gurgaon for a few days.
Many Government officials’ holiday has been canceled as the minister has decided to look into the areas that are affected by the rain.
Weather Update: IMD Issues Red Alert
IMD has red alert in several states including Himachal Pradesh and Kerala. Seven districts of Himachal are under scrutiny for heavy rainfall. States like Rajasthan will also face heavy rainfall for a few days.
Chandigarh witnessed continuous rain throughout the day which was very unusual for the capital. As the rain poured continuously in Haryana and Punjab, the metrological department predicted that it will continue like this for a few more days.
3000 cars were left stranded on the Srinagar-Jammu highway because a portion of the national highway in the Kullu district broke down. This resulted in Amarnath Yatra also being postponed for another day and if the weather remains like that it can be completely written off this year.
