Alert for travelers and vehicle users

Officials are advising two-wheeler riders and car drivers to be very careful, as the roads can get quite slippery during the rains. People living in low-lying areas should also stay alert for waterlogging and keep an eye on warnings from local authorities. It's best to avoid going out in the rain unless it's a real emergency.
