Dibrugarh district of Assam receives moderate to light rain for the third consecutive day
Dibrugarh: On Thursday, the Dibrugarh district of Assam had moderate to light rainfall for the third day in a row, which resulted in waterlogging in several areas of the city. Although there was some light rain in the morning, the citizens of Dibrugarh continued their daily activities as usual, despite experiencing some inconvenience from the flooded roadways.
‘Generally overcast skies with one or two periods of rain or thundershowers’ is what the India Meteorological Department predicts the city will see today. According to IMD, Dibrugarh had 4 mm of rain on Wednesday.
In the meanwhile, on May 14, the IMD warned of severe to very heavy rains in the Assamese districts of Bongaigaon and Bajali Barpeta.
“Heavy (7-11 cm in 24 Hrs) to Very Heavy rain (12-20 cm in 24 hrs) is very likely to occur at isolated places over Bajali, Barpeta, & Bongaigaon Lightning along with Gusty wind speeds of 40-50 kmph,” IMD said.
The IMD warned that areas of Uttarakhand might see severe weather conditions on Thursday in the northern region of India.
Thunder, lightning, hailstorms, heavy rain, and strong winds of 40 to 50 km/h were all likely in certain parts of Dehradun, Pauri, and Tehri, according to the meteorological department’s warning prediction.
The Indian meteorological department warned that “thunder/lightning/hailstorm/heavy spells of rain/gusty winds (40-50 km/hr) are likely at some places in Dehradun, Pauri, and Tehri.”
Residents in the area were urged to take the appropriate safety measures and refrain from leaving the house unless it was absolutely essential.
Heavy rains in Karnataka have forced water to seep into low-lying regions, resulting in Wednesday night flooding in various portions of the city of Hubballi. Rainwater seeping into homes in the historic Hubballi neighborhood upset the locals.
On the under-construction Hubballi-Dharwad bypass in outer Hubballi, a car with 13 people and two automobiles crashed into a water-filled service road near the Rayanal underpass. Thankfully, the event did not result in any fatalities.
Locals have reported that they have identical flooding problems during each period of intense rain, but officials are neither responding nor offering any help.
“After yesterday’s intense downpour, the open gutters are the true problem. They include four to five feet of dirt and plastic debris, which obstructs water movement and results in floods into our houses. Since the drains aren’t letting the water run freely, you must have seen how awful things are—there is standing water everywhere. Every year, the same issue arises.
There is a remedy; however, even after speaking with the local MLA, we were informed that the infrastructure and gutters were sufficient to deal with such problems. However, we are having many problems since the sewers are not being cleaned. Almost every home in Ganesh Nagar experienced flooding as a result, according to Prakash, a local.
