Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Maharashtra state electricity distribution company (MSEDCL) has urged consumers to exercise caution during the rainy season to avoid any untoward incidents. "People must stay away from electrical installations such as iron poles of street lights, wirings of public electrical systems and other MSEDCL equipment, including iron fences of transformers and fuse boxes. Heavy and continuous rainfall can make these items prone to incidents of electrocution," MSEDCL public relations officer for Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar zone, Dnyaneshwar Ardad, said. He added, "Moist electrical equipment at home, switchboards of agricultural pumps too can become hazardous, increasing the risk of electrical accidents." Officials said people must be wary of power cables and poles affected due to uprooted trees or branches of trees during the season. "It is essential to stay away from them and not try to touch or remove them," Ardad said. "Ensure that no water or moisture is present around electrical switchboards or equipments.

The weather bureau predicted light to moderate rainfall with possible thunderstorms in South Bengal districts like Howrah, Hooghly, North and South 24 Parganas, East and West Midnapore, Jhargram, Bankura, Purulia, East and West Bardhaman, Birbhum, Murshidabad, Nadia, and Kolkata. State capital Kolkata experienced overcast conditions on Sunday, but there was only 0.4 mm of rainfall in the last 24 hours. The city recorded a maximum temperature of 30.4 degree Celsius and a minimum of 26.2 degree Celsius on Sunday. Humidity levels were on the higher side, ranging from 83 per cent to 100 per cent. Meanwhile, the IMD has put North Bengal districts like Jalpaiguri and Alipurduar under an Orange alert (Be Prepared), expecting heavy to very heavy rainfall (7-20 cm) on Sunday. Darjeeling, Cooch Behar, and Kalimpong are under a Yellow alert and are likely to witness light to moderate rainfall. Warnings have been issued for possible lightning and local flooding in low-lying areas across the region. In its bulletin, the IMD also stated that a 'trough runs from cyclonic circulation associated with the well-marked low-pressure area over northwest Madhya Pradesh and neighbourhood to northeast Bangladesh across northeast Madhya Pradesh, Jharkhand, and north Gangetic West Bengal between 0.9 to 5.8 km above mean sea level.' Under the influence of this strong monsoon flow, widespread light to moderate rainfall is very likely to continue over West Bengal, with heavy rainfall activity expected at one or two places in some districts over the next few days.
