Rainfall To Continue In Eastern MP
Weather experts said weather activity across Madhya Pradesh has intensified again during the final week of September.
Although the intensity of the deep depression is gradually weakening, its movement towards the north-northwest, together with significant moisture, is expected to sustain rainfall activity across eastern Madhya Pradesh. The next 48 hours are therefore expected to remain crucial for several districts. The administration, farmers and residents have been advised to closely monitor local weather warnings and take necessary precautions.
People should avoid unnecessary movement near rivers, streams, bridges, culverts and low-lying areas, particularly in districts where heavy to very heavy rainfall has been forecast.
