The citizens have been cautioned to watch the monsoon report and also avoid going out, and driving around too much during rains at their peak time and also to take precautionary measures in order to secure their properties/vehicles. Officials have also been advised to be at high alert to make sure that they drain and respond to any emergency quickly.
