Why it matters
The alerts follow the passage of a deep depression across the coast, which is causing the heavy rainfall. The instructions focus on proactive measures, such as monitoring dam capacities and evacuating vulnerable residents. The situation places a significant operational and financial burden on the state government for disaster response and infrastructure management.
