‘Red Alert’ for rain ahead of Shri Krishna’s birth; heavy downpour expected by nightfall!

The festival of Shri Krishna Janmashtami is being celebrated with great fervor across the country, but it seems the Rain God is also preparing to pour down heavily for Lord Krishna’s birth anniversary. While special preparations for Janmashtami are underway in temples across Delhi-NCR, the weather has taken a turn; heavy rain has been lashing several areas of the region since the afternoon. According to the Meteorological Department, light to moderate rain accompanied by lightning is likely in many places today. Rainfall is currently occurring in parts of Delhi, Ghaziabad, and Noida. In view of the deteriorating weather conditions, the IMD has issued a severe ‘Red Alert’ for Delhi-NCR.
