IMD to Issue Separate Rainfall Alerts for Ghat and City Areas in Pune, Satara, and Kolhapur

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) is set to issue separate rainfall alerts for the ghat and city areas in Pune, Satara, and Kolhapur, addressing public criticism over previous alerts that resulted in unnecessary school closures. This change aims to enhance alert accuracy and better inform residents about impending weather conditions. The decision comes after complaints of "false alarms" during the monsoon season.
