B O News Desk : The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has predicted that heavy to very heavy rainfall with thunderstorms and lightning is likely to occur across various parts of Guwahati city in the next 24 hours.

The weather pattern suggests that rainfall with thunderstorms and lightning (up to 6 cm/24 hours) is very likely to occur at most places of the city, along with an intense spell of rainfall (2-3 cm/hour) in coming 24 hours which may aggravate water logging, slow vehicular movement, and increase the risk of localized landslides in vulnerable pockets.

The city authorities are closely monitoring the situation, and emergency response systems are being kept on alert.

In view of the situation, Assam State Disaster Management Authority (ASDMA) has requested all the people of Guwahati to take all necessary precautions and remain vigilant.

Daily commuters and long-distance travellers are requested to plan their routines accordingly, avoiding unnecessary movement during periods of intense rainfall.

Residents in low-lying and hillside areas should stay alert for any signs of flooding or landslides.

The ASDMA has urged the public to stay tuned to official weather updates and follow advisories issued by local authorities to ensure safety during this prolonged spell of rain.

The status of the situation would be updated by ASDMA from time to time for general awareness.
