Amit Shah speaks with CMs of 5 states amid heavy rains

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday spoke with the chief ministers of five states amid heavy rainfall in several parts of the country and assured them of support from the Centre.

He said that an adequate number of NDRF teams have been deployed in the state in case of need.

“In the wake of heavy rainfall in different parts of the nation, I spoke with the chief ministers of Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, and Chhattisgarh. Adequate numbers of NDRF teams have been deployed in the states for the people in need, and more reinforcements can be sent as and when required. Assured them of all possible assistance from the central government," Shah posted on X.

Heavy rain has lashed several parts of northern and western India, causing floods, landslides, and damage to roads and buildings. This has led to emergency measures being taken. Teams from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) have been stationed in the affected areas to help with rescue and relief work.

Earlier, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a warning of heavy rainfall in most parts of the country.

According to IMD scientist Naresh Kumar, two weather systems have developed—one over Madhya Pradesh and another over northern Odisha—which are likely to cause heavy rainfall.

The authorities have issued alerts for central India and western coast. Eastern Rajasthan is expected to witness heavy rain, as the IMD has predicted heavy rainfall.

“A circulation has formed in Madhya Pradesh, and another circulation has formed in northern Odisha and surrounding areas. All these conditions are very favourable for the monsoon. An orange or red alert is in place for almost the entire central India and the western coast, due to which we estimate that heavy rainfall may occur in eastern Rajasthan today… Overall, we can say that the monsoon is in an active phase. Heavy rain will continue in most parts of India for almost the entire week," Naresh Kumar said.
