RANCHI / JAMSHEDPUR – Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Jamshedpur on September 15 may face weather-related challenges due to expected heavy rainfall.
Intermittent showers have been occurring across Jharkhand, including the Kolhan region, since last night.
This has led to a significant change in the weather conditions.
During his visit, PM Modi is scheduled to release the first installment of funds for the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana through DBT.
He will also inaugurate several Vande Bharat train services.
The Prime Minister’s planned road show might be affected by the adverse weather conditions.
"The deep depression over Bangladesh is likely to move west-northwestward, maintaining its intensity," explained Abhishek Anand, a meteorologist at the Ranchi center.
This weather system is expected to impact various parts of Jharkhand until September 16.
