Heavy rainfall prediction led to a deferment of the Shahdol leg of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Madhya Pradesh visit on June 27, Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan said on Monday.
Mr. Chouhan said that the PM did not want to cause any inconvenience to possible attendees and that a new date would be announced soon for the programme scheduled in Shahdol.
Meanwhile, the India Meteorological Department on Monday sounded a yellow alert for heavy rains in 22 districts, including Shahdol, and Bhopal, where again Mr. Modi is scheduled to attend various events.
