Safety Recommendations:

Avoid Flood-Prone Areas: Steer clear of roadway underpasses, drainage ditches, low-lying areas, and regions where water tends to accumulate, as they can flood unexpectedly.

Stay Away from Electrical Hazards: Maintain a safe distance from power lines and electrical wires to prevent accidents.

Seek Safe Shelter: Avoid staying in non-concrete (kuchcha) houses during heavy rainfall, as they may be prone to collapse.

Drive with Caution: If travel is necessary, exercise extreme caution while driving due to potential waterlogged roads and reduced visibility.

Residents are advised to stay updated with the latest weather information and adhere to any additional advisories issued by local authorities. For more detailed information, please refer to the India Meteorological Department’s official communications.
