New Delhi: Winters are here and in the last few days, there has been rainfall in multiple states including Uttar Pradesh, Delhi and many southern states of India. The rain in Delhi has been welcomed as it has led to reduction in the high AQI and pollution in the national capital. Now, the India Meteorological Department issued an orange alert for coastal Tamil Nadu, Puducherry and Karaikal. These regions are likely to receive heavy to very heavy rainfall from November 30 and December 2 to 4, read the post by IMD on X.
