Meghalaya most active among NE states in disaster warning system: Official
Agency: Shillong, Aug 20 (PTI) The State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA) in Meghalaya has emerged as the most proactive among North Eastern states in deploying the Common Alerting Protocol (CAP)-based integrated alert system of disaster warning, an official claimed on Wednesday. The SDMA in Meghalaya has sent 62 alert messages to over 7.28 lakh mobile phone subscribers with a total of 13.84 lakh alert SMS, he said. The integrated alert system enables real-time dissemination of disaster warnings through multiple platforms, including SMS, mobile applications, browser notifications and satellite-based channels. The alerts cover a wide range of hazards such as floods, cyclones, thunderstorms, lightning, avalanches and tsunamis, thereby strengthening last-mile connectivity during emergencies. Timely alerts generated by the India Meteorological Department's Shillong centre have empowered the SDMA to issue faster and more accurate warnings, improving preparedness and response on the ground. The CAP platform, also known as 'SACHET', integrates national agencies like the IMD and Central Water Commission with state-level disaster authorities for uniform and geo-targeted dissemination of alerts. Although the system is being rolled out across the country, Meghalaya is 'far ahead" of other states in the region in terms of adoption and effective utilisation, the official claimed.

Maharashtra: 21 killed in rain-related incidents in last five days
Twenty-one persons were killed in rain-related incidents in Maharashtra between August 15 and August 19, PTI reported, quoting the State Disaster Management Authority. In the last 24 hours, heavy rainfall and flooding in the state have led to six deaths – four in Nanded and one each in Mumbai and Beed districts. Five persons have been reported missing, according to ANI. The India Meteorological Department on Wednesday issued a red alert, warning of heavy rain accompanied by thunderstorms in Mumbai, Thane, Pune, Palghar and Raigad. Mumbai and its neighbouring districts have been receiving heavy rainfall for three days. #Red Nowcast #warning for heavy rain accompanied with thunderstorm- #Maharashtra - Palghar, #Mumbai Suburban, #Mumbai city, Thane, #Pune, Raigad #Gujarat - Devbhoomi Dwarka, Porbandar, Junagarh, Gir Somnath, Amreli #MumbaiRain #Mumbai #MumbaiRains @mybmc @ndmaindia @moesgoi … — India Meteorological Department (@Indiametdept) August 20, 2025 Between Monday and Tuesday morning, Mumbai received more than 300 mm of rain. This led to waterlogging and widespread disruptions to public transport, including at least 100 local trains getting delayed or cancelled, The Indian Express reported. #WATCH | Maharashtra: Normal life affected in Mumbai as several parts of the city remain waterlogged following incessant heavy rainfall. Visuals from Nalasopara West. — ANI (@ANI) August 20, 2025 In two separate incidents, monorail trains were stuck in the city on Tuesday due to electrical failures caused by overcrowding, The Hindu reported. One of the trains came to a halt between Mysore Colony and Bhakti Park stations, following which more than 500 passengers were rescued. Around 200 passengers were evacuated from another stalled monorail between Acharya Atre and Wadala stations. According to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, preliminary checks showed that the total weight of the train had reached approximately 109 metric tonnes, exceeding its design capacity of 104 metric tonnes. This caused a mechanical disconnection between the power rail and the current collector, effectively cutting off the electricity supply needed to operate the trains, said the authority. 🔹चेंबूर ते भक्ती पार्क दरम्यान म्हैसूर कॉलनीजवळ अडकलेल्या मोनो रेलमधून, आतापर्यंत सुमारे ४४२ पेक्षा अधिक प्रवाशांची बृहन्मुंबई महानगरपालिकेच्या मुंबई अग्निशमन दलाने स्नॉर्केल (शिडी) वाहनांच्या साहाय्याने सुटका केली आहे. उर्वरित प्रवाशांना बाहेर काढण्याची कार्यवाही सुरु आहे.… — माझी Mumbai, आपली BMC (@mybmc) August 19, 2025 On Wednesday morning, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation stated that all three lines of Mumbai's suburban railways, as well as BEST bus operations, are functioning smoothly, despite disruptions the previous day. Commercial airlines, including IndiGo and SpiceJet, issued advisories warning passengers in Mumbai that heavy rains could lead to air traffic congestion and potentially impact flight schedules. Five teams of the National Disaster Response Force remain deployed in the city, The Hindu reported. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Tuesday said that all 525 water pumps in the city were in operation. 'What happened in Mumbai on Tuesday was almost a cloudburst-like situation,' The Hindu quoted him as saying. 'The city witnessed 350 mm rain in 24 hours and 200 mm rain in just six hours.'
