Heavy rainfall predicted in Madhya Pradesh, orange alert issued

Heads up, Madhya Pradesh!
The IMD has put out an orange alert for heavy rain in 10 districts—including Gwalior, Bhind, Morena, Sheopur, Datia, Umaria, Dindori, Katni, Mandla, and Panna—over the next 24 hours.
Monsoon season is in full swing this year with rainfall already 37% above normal across the state.

TL;DR

Stay away from rivers, says government

With 2.5 to 8-inch of rain expected soon in these areas (and more showers likely in places like Narmadapuram and Chhindwara), there's a real risk of flooding and travel disruptions.
The government's asking everyone to stay alert—especially around religious sites—and officials are taking extra precautions to keep people safe during this intense monsoon spell.
