According to the IMD, a “Heavy rain” warning has been issued for Delhi, Chandigarh, and Haryana for today and tomorrow.

Rainfall also lashed several parts of Mumbai, causing waterlogging in Sion’s Gandhi Market area and Eastern Express Highway. IMD has issued no warning for today, but a “Heavy Rainfall” warning has been issued for August 26-27.
Moreover, heavy rains lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir’s Bhaderwah, bringing normal life to a standstill. Continuous downpour triggered waterlogging in low-lying areas and increased the risk of landslides along hilly roads.
Authorities have appealed to people to remain cautious, avoid unnecessary travel, and stay away from rivers and landslide-prone areas. The administration is closely monitoring the situation.
Schools closed in these regions
Due to heavy rain, the administration ordered the closure of all government and private schools in Doda District. Bhaderwah-Bani-Basohli-Pathankot & Bhaderwah-Chamba roads are also closed due to heavy rains, leaving yatris halted.
Moreover, the water level in the river of Banswara district of Rajasthan rose due to heavy rainfall. Heavy rainfall also led to the Sangameshwar Temple being submerged in the floodwater. Devotees climb to the top of the temple to perform aarti. However, teachers and staff of schools and Anganwadis are required to attend work as usual.
