New Delhi: With the decrease in the intensity of rain in the last few days, it seemed that now the monsoon period is almost over. But the recent heavy rains have proved this notion completely wrong. The heavy rains in states like Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra a day ago have caused devastation in many areas. Three people have also lost their lives in rain-related incidents in these states.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has warned of heavy to very heavy rains in many states for the next two days. These include Uttarakhand, East Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Sub-Himalayan West Bengal, and Sikkim. The department says that people in these areas need to be alert, as the intensity of rain may increase further in the next 48 hours.
