There is a possibility of rivers overflowing and flood-like situations in these states. The Meteorological Department has also instructed the local administration to remain alert.

Why is it raining so much?

Meteorologists say that this heavy rain is happening due to the low pressure area formed in the Bay of Bengal and the activity of monsoon.
