Nature’s havoc in UP! Rain with storm in many districts including Lucknow, CM Yogi issued high alert at midnight

UP Weather Update: In many parts of the state, including Lucknow, the capital of Uttar Pradesh, the weather has suddenly taken such a turn that instead of sweating, people are now feeling cold. But this pleasant weather has also brought with it the sound of devastation. Strong winds, thunder and torrential rains have disrupted life in the entire state. Seeing the seriousness of the situation and the warning from the Meteorological Department (IMD), Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath himself has taken command.

CM Yogi issued an emergency statement late night and appealed to the people of the state to be extremely cautious. He has given strict instructions to the administration to work on ‘zero tolerance’ policy and remain alert at all times.

CM Yogi’s appeal to the people of the state: ‘Security is the biggest protection’

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has made an emotional and urgent appeal to the public in view of the bad weather. He has said that people should not come out of their homes unnecessarily during storms and rains. The Meteorological Department has expressed the possibility of lightning in many districts. CM has given strict instructions that people should stay away from electric poles, tall trees and open fields. Apart from this, he has advised farmers (farmers) to move their harvested crops and animals to safe places so that the losses can be reduced.

Emphasis on the safety of children and orders for the administration to be ‘ready 24 hours’

The Chief Minister appeared very serious about the safety of children. He has urged parents to keep children indoors when the weather is bad and not let them play outside. Also, the CM has ordered all District Magistrates (DM), Police Captains and Disaster Management Department to remain on ‘alert mode’ 24 hours. Relief and rescue teams (SDRF and NDRF) have been activated to provide immediate assistance in case any untoward incident occurs anywhere.

Danger of hailstorm looms over western UP and Terai districts

According to Lucknow Meteorological Center, the coming few hours may be heavy for Uttar Pradesh. A red alert has been issued for heavy hailstorm especially in the Terai belt and districts of western Uttar Pradesh. The mood of nature can deteriorate the most in districts like Kushinagar, Maharajganj, Siddharthnagar, Balrampur, Shravasti, Bahraich and Lakhimpur Kheri. The administration of these districts has been asked to be especially alert.

Government fully prepared to deal with emergency

Yogi government has made it clear that it is ready to deal with any crisis, but caution of citizens is the biggest weapon. The electricity department has also been instructed to monitor the power supply and take necessary steps to prevent accidents caused by damaged wires or poles during rains and storms.
