Serious danger is looming over these 14 districts including the capital Ranchi and Hazaribagh
The weather patterns in Jharkhand were constantly changing for the last few days, but today is going to be the most challenging day. According to the latest update released by the Meteorological Department, apart from Ranchi and Hazaribagh, heavy rain and thunderstorms have been predicted in a total of 14 districts including Ramgarh, Bokaro, Dhanbad, Giridih, Koderma, Chatra, Palamu, Garhwa, Lohardaga, Gumla, Khunti and Simdega. In these areas, dark clouds have covered the sky since morning and rains along with thunder and lightning have also started at many places. Meteorologists say that this activity of clouds can remain very aggressive for the next few hours, due to which there is every possibility of waterlogging and traffic disruption in low-lying areas. Farmers in rural areas have been asked to be especially cautious as this sudden weather disaster can cause damage to crops and livestock. The district administration has also put all disaster management teams on alert mode so that any emergency can be dealt with immediately.
Biggest danger of storm and lightning, special caution has to be taken
Along with rain, the thing that has increased the concern of the weather department and the general public the most is the severe storm and the fall of lightning. In the last few years in Jharkhand, many precious lives have been lost due to lightning, and the Meteorological Department has been continuously appealing that even a little carelessness during this time can prove costly. Whenever the period of rain starts with thunder and bright flashes of clouds, people should not stay under the open sky even by mistake. This situation can be extremely risky for farmers working in the fields, pedestrians taking shelter under trees and bikers. During lightning, it is wise to maintain a distance of at least a hundred feet from tall trees, mobile towers, electric poles and metal objects. If you are outside the house, take shelter under a pitched roof or inside a safe concrete building to avoid any untoward incident.
There may be a huge impact on normal life and traffic.
Such torrential rains and strong winds are expected to have a direct impact on normal life, daily activities and traffic system. When suddenly heavy rains start on the major roads in and around the capital Ranchi, many main intersections and lower roads get flooded, causing severe traffic jams. School going children, office going employees and daily commuters may have to face a lot of problems. Apart from this, due to the strong storm, there is a strong possibility of power supply being disrupted due to breaking of branches of weak trees and breaking of electric wires at many places. Electricity department teams have been deployed in the field to immediately rectify any possible fault, however, citizens are advised to come out of their homes only when absolutely necessary and exercise utmost caution while travelling.
Strict advisory and safety measures from Meteorological Department
In view of the severe weather conditions prevailing in these 14 districts of Jharkhand, Meteorological Center Ranchi has issued a very strict advisory. The department has clarified that until the weather becomes completely normal, people should avoid unnecessary travel. Especially in the areas where red or orange alert has been issued, the local administration has also been instructed to continuously alert the public through loudspeakers and media. Farmers have been warned not to go to the fields or open fields during rain and thunderstorms. To keep your home’s electronic equipment safe, keep it unplugged so that no valuables get damaged due to voltage fluctuations. Vigilance and understanding are the best defense in front of these ferocious forms of nature, so avoid any kind of rumors and trust only the official weather updates.
