The state of Jharkhand is facing a very aggressive and terrible form of nature these days. Due to the cyclonic storm ‘Arnab’ which has been active for the last few days and the deep low pressure area, the continuous torrential rains are not stopping in most of the districts of the state for the last 96 hours i.e. four days. This disaster that is raining from the sky has completely halted the life of entire Jharkhand. From the capital Ranchi to Jamshedpur, Dhanbad, Bokaro, Hazaribagh and Palamu, water is visible everywhere. Due to the torrential rains that have been occurring for four consecutive days, rivers and drains are in spate in many areas of the state, low-lying residential areas are inundated and traffic has been badly affected due to road connectivity being lost at many places. Apart from this, due to torrential rains and strong winds, the power supply system has completely collapsed, due to which common people are facing huge difficulties due to burning of transformers and power failure for several hours. In view of the seriousness of the situation, the Meteorological Department has issued a red alert in many districts and has appealed to the people to stay in their homes.
This disaster caused by the impact of cyclonic storm ‘Arnab’ has increased the problems of both the administration and the common citizens. There are continuous reports of uprooting of trees, damage to kutcha houses and traffic jams due to waterlogging from different parts of the state. The disaster management department and the local administration are fully prepared and engaged in relief and rescue operations, but due to continuous raining clouds, relief operations are also being hampered. The farmers’ paddy and other Kharif crops, which were ripe and ready, have been scattered in the fields due to this severe rain and strong wind, due to which the farmers are fearing huge financial loss. Let us know in detail how widespread the impact of cyclonic storm ‘Arnab’ is being seen in Jharkhand and according to the Meteorological Department, when can the people of the state expect to get relief from this problem.
Bad condition of various districts of Jharkhand due to cyclonic storm ‘Arnab’
Due to the continuous torrential rains for the last 96 hours, the condition of major cities and rural areas of Jharkhand has become very pathetic. According to the Meteorological Centre, this cyclonic system originating from the Bay of Bengal has completely captured the sky of Jharkhand, due to which intermittent heavy rains are continuing. At many places in Ranchi, river-like scenes are being seen on the roads and water has entered people’s houses and basements. Incidents of collapse of kutcha houses have been reported in rural areas, although the administration, exercising caution, has already started shifting people from sensitive areas to safe places and relief camps. Electricity department employees are engaged in repairing the fault on a war footing, but due to continuous rain, they are facing huge difficulties in restoring power.
When will this period of rain stop and when will we get relief?
The biggest question in the minds of the common citizens of Jharkhand is that when will they finally get relief from this torrential rain and cyclonic crisis. While giving relief news, meteorologists have said that the cyclonic storm ‘Arnab’ is gradually weakening and its effect is moving towards the north-west direction. According to the latest forecast of the Meteorological Department, the intensity of rain will gradually start reducing during the next 24 hours and the weather is expected to clear. However, the administration has still appealed to the people not to go near swollen rivers and weak buildings as a precautionary measure to avoid any untoward incident.
