Monsoon is wreaking such havoc in Jharkhand that the Bhairavi river in Ramgarh has become like an ocean. More than 100 shops have been swept away by the Bhairavi river. The situation is such that the shopkeepers just stood helplessly and watched the spectacle. The same was the condition of Jamshedpur’s Dimna Dam. Both the bridge and the river have become equal in appearance, but it has become difficult for people to cross.
No relief even today

At the same time, a yellow alert has been issued regarding rain in Ranchi, Khunti, Lohardaga and Gumla.

In view of the bad weather in Jharkhand, 10 back to back yellow alerts were issued on people’s phones. The first warning was for Ranchi and Khunti at 11:00 am. Warning has been issued for strong winds, thunderstorms and torrential rain. At the same time, the series of warnings continued from 12 noon to 6:00 pm. This warning was for other districts from Khunti to Saraikela Kharsawan, Garhwa and Gumla.
Abhishek, a meteorologist at Ranchi Meteorological Centre, said, when a lightning alert is issued, people think it is a joke. They think that the lightning will not fall on their head. This very thing and this carelessness often becomes the cause of their death. So far, seven people have died due to lightning in the last two days. In such a situation, people are requested that when a message comes on the phone, do not ignore it at all.
At the same time, there are some districts where the monsoon havoc is being seen. For example, 700 mm of rain has already occurred in East Singhbhum. Ranchi has received 670 mm of rain, Latehar and Saraikela Kharsawan have received 607 mm of rain and Ramgarh has received 587 mm of rain. Which is 230 percent more than normal.
