Heavy Rain Causes Flooding and Disruptions Across Jharkhand
Incessant rain since September 23 has disrupted normal life in Jharkhand, causing rivers like Subernarekha and Kharkai to flow above danger levels and flooding low-lying areas. Authorities suspended school classes in several districts, including Ranchi and Jamshedpur. Power outages occurred due to fallen trees and poles, and a tree fell on a school bus in Ranchi without injuries. Weather officials expect improvement from September 27 as the depression weakens and moves northward.
