Authorities in Gujarat place 13 districts on high alert after the weather department forecasts heavy rainfall, according to NDTV. The state reviews preparedness measures at a meeting held at the State Emergency Operation Centre (SEOC) in Gandhinagar. The meeting is chaired by Additional Chief Secretary (Revenue) Dr Jayanti Ravi, who reviews steps to manage potential impacts of the forecast weather. The state’s emergency-response officials assess readiness and coordinate actions ahead of the expected heavy rain conditions. The reports focus on the administrative review and alert status rather than specific incidents, damages, or casualties. The high-alert designation indicates heightened monitoring and preparedness measures in the affected districts while the forecast remains in effect. The state government’s approach emphasizes preparedness through the SEOC and involvement of senior revenue officials overseeing emergency management.
