For Friday, it issued an 'orange' alert (be prepared), predicting very heavy rainfall in three districts, and 'yellow' alert (be aware), forecasting heavy rainfall in 17 districts, he said. The 'orange' alert has been sounded for Saraikela-Kharswan, and East and West Singhbhum districts from 8.30 am on Friday to 8.30 am on Saturday, the official said. The districts that are likely to witness heavy rainfall during the period include Simdega, Gumla, Lohardaga, Khunti, Ranchi, Ramgarh, Bokaro, Hazaribag, Koderma, Giridih, Dhanbad, Jamtara, Deoghar, Dumka, Pakur, Godda and Sahibganj. "Jharkhand is expected receive widespread rainfall till July 29 under the influence of a low pressure system. A monsoon trough will also support the system, leading to rainfall.

"People should remain alert, as surface runoff and inundation may occur at some fully saturated soils and low-lying areas," Anand said.
