Overview

• The IMD upgraded alerts to red in parts of Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Delhi-NCR as orange and yellow warnings span seven other states with heavy to very heavy rainfall projected through July 10.
• A low-pressure area over Gangetic West Bengal has stalled over Jharkhand and north Chhattisgarh, driving sustained downpours that have flooded roads and disrupted transport networks.
• Severe waterlogging in Uttarkashi washed away a key highway bridge and parts of Delhi experienced flood-induced traffic snarls under an escalated red alert.
• Nagpur authorities closed all schools and colleges for July 9 and the IMD advised fishermen across six coastal states to halt operations due to rough sea conditions.
• Rising Ganga levels submerged ghats and temple precincts in Varanasi and prompted flash flood warnings for neighboring Uttar Pradesh districts.
