Heavy rain, thunderstorms lash parts of J&K; Ramban admin issues safety alert

Ramban , August 23 : Heavy rainfall accompanied by thunderstorms and lightning lashed several parts of Jammu and Kashmir on Sunday, prompting district administrations to issue safety advisories. In Ramban district, intense downpours and lightning were reported in different parts of the district. Taking precautionary measures, the Ramban district administration issued an alert, advising residents--especially those living in upper reaches and in close proximity to rivers, streams, and other water bodies--to remain cautious and avoid unnecessary travel during the inclement weather. Simultaneously, rain lashed several parts of the neighbouring Udhampur district, bringing down temperatures and causing wet conditions across the region. According to meteorological data, widespread precipitation and overcast conditions have led to a noticeable dip in temperatures across both Jammu and Kashmir divisions, accompanied by extremely high humidity levels. Srinagar City recorded a temperature of 16.2 degrees Celsius with 100 per cent rainfall, while Jammu City registered 22.4 degrees Celsius with 98 per cent rainfall. Among other major stations, the tourist resort of Gulmarg recorded the lowest temperature in the region at 10.6 degrees Celsius, while Pahalgam recorded 14.2 degrees Celsius alongside 96 per cent rainfall. In the Jammu division, Katra recorded 20.8 degrees Celsius with 95 percent rains, Banihal witnessed 17.4 degrees Celsius with 93 per cent showers, and Kupwara recorded 17 degrees Celsius under cloudy skies. According to the five-day forecast issued by the IMD, rainfall activity is expected to gradually taper off over the coming days, transitioning to scattered light showers across parts of southern and eastern districts including Ramban, Udhampur, Doda, Kishtwar, and Anantnag. However, the weather department has cautioned about the possibility of thunderstorms, lightning, and gusty winds reaching up to 60 km/h at isolated places, alongside the persistent risk of localised flash floods, landslides, and mudslides in vulnerable hilly terrains over the next five days. According to IMD data, across the country, very heavy rainfall was recorded over Arunachal Pradesh, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura, East Uttar Pradesh, West Uttar Pradesh, and East Madhya Pradesh yesterday. Additionally, heavy rainfall was also reported over the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Assam and Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh, West Madhya Pradesh, and Odisha. Additionally, the weather agency predicted isolated heavy rainfall for Uttarakhand from August 22 to 28. Additionally, fairly widespread rainfall is expected in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, Gangetic West Bengal, Odisha, and Sub-Himalayan West Bengal and Sikkim between August 22-28, over Jharkhand from August 23-28, and over Bihar between August 24-26.

Panic Buying At Shillong Fuel Pumps As Union Threatens Supply Halt

Amid heightened tensions following the August 19 violence during a Khasi Students' Union (KSU) protest in Meghalaya's Shillong, long queues were seen outside fuel stations across the city on Friday night, with several outlets reportedly running dry. The unrest had triggered a blockade of Meghalaya-bound vehicles by Assam taxi drivers after more than 30 tourist vehicles were vandalised. This was followed by a counter-blockade on the Meghalaya side, further straining relations between the two neighbouring states. Adding to concerns, the North-East Petroleum Mazdoor Union (NEPMZ) on Friday threatened to suspend the transportation of petrol, diesel and LPG from Assam to Meghalaya, citing safety concerns for Assam-registered vehicles operating in the state. The union said the suspension would remain in place until the Meghalaya government takes effective measures to ensure the safety of Assam-registered vehicles, including tourist vehicles.

Guwahati Royals, Barpeta Braves Clash For APL 2026 Title In Blockbuster Final

Assam Cricket Association Stadium: The stage is set for a fitting finale to the inaugural Assam Premier League (APL), with the top two teams from the league stage, Guwahati Royals and Barpeta Braves, set to battle for the title at the Assam Cricket Association Stadium on Sunday. The two sides finished level on 14 points after the league stage, with Guwahati Royals taking top spot on the strength of a superior net run rate of 0.920, ahead of Barpeta Braves at 0.614. The final brings together two teams that have consistently impressed through the tournament, setting up an exciting contest for the inaugural title. For Guwahati Royals, the campaign has been driven by a potent combination of young talent and experienced heads. They will head into the final on the back of a commanding seven-wicket victory over Barak Legends in a rain-curtailed semi-final. Rohit Sen's stunning 62 off 26 balls powered them into the title clash, while Bastab Roy once again underlined his importance with the ball, claiming 3/18. Roy has been one of the standout performers of the APL and currently leads the bowling charts with 22 wickets, putting him firmly in line for the Purple Cap. However, the young pacer has insisted that team success remains his priority. I don't put individual performance ahead. Yes, I am currently on top of the Purple Cap standings, but that's a different thing. Winning for the team is more important. And playing the final is even better, said Bastab. He also highlighted the value of having experienced players around him during his breakthrough campaign. This tournament is a very big tournament for me. I have played club cricket and district cricket before. So, senior players like Rishabh Das, Deepak Das, Mukhtar Hussain and Abu sir (coach of the Royals), it feels good to work with them, he said. Barpeta Braves, meanwhile, overcame Dibrugarh Warriors in a thrilling semi-final, with Saurav Mousum Dihingia carrying his bat for an unbeaten 63 to guide them into the final. Their campaign has been built around a strong collective effort, particularly from their bowling unit, with Shubham Kumar Gupta among the leading wicket-takers of the league with 19 wickets. Shubham Kumar Gupta has been one of the key contributors to their campaign with 19 wickets, and the all-rounder believes the team's ability to bounce back has been crucial. The good thing about a good team is that they make a comeback after losing, which we did. Our team played as a unit. That's why we reached here today, said Shubham. With the final now in sight, Shubham is keen for Barpeta to approach the occasion in the same manner as any other game. We will play the final as we play other matches. There is no pressure that it is the final. We started playing cricket because we liked it. That's why we have enjoyed it till now. We will play the final as well, he said. Barpeta will, however, head into the title clash without skipper Denish Das, who led the side through most of the season but has left to join his Duleep Trophy commitments. The Braves will now look to their squad to step up in his absence. With the final now in sight, Shubham is keen for Barpeta to approach the occasion in the same manner as any other game. We will play the final as we play other matches. There is no pressure that it is the final. We started playing cricket because we liked it. That's why we have enjoyed it till now. We will play the final as well, he said.
