Talking to TOI, Argora police station in-charge Alok Singh, said that police were not informed about any harm caused to any vehicle or individuals. "The uprooted trees were cleared off the road so that vehicular movement would not be disrupted. However, the number of uprooted trees has not been assessed yet."

While Bokaro recorded 16 mm, Latehar recorded 5.5 mm, and Gumla and Jamtara recorded 0.5 mm of rainfall. Anwar Hussain, a resident of Hindpiri, said, "The Ranchi Municipal Corporation does not clean the drains in the area before monsoon, and the residents have to bear the brunt of that every year. The drains also need to be widened so that the pertinent problem of waterlogging can be solved." The rain brought down the mercury level, bringing respite from the rising heat.
