The Chief Minister has also urged residents to avoid unnecessary travel during this period. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert for several southern districts and an orange alert for other areas of the State.
According to the IMD, a depression currently over northwest Uttar Pradesh is expected to move north-northwest and weaken into a well-marked low-pressure area within the next 12 hours. This system centred near Bareilly, will bring scattered to broken clouds with ‘intense convection’ to southern Uttarakhand and neighbouring Uttar Pradesh.
