Though monsoon has entered in Hazaribagh district in the fourth week of June but it took about 15 days to make the people feel about the arrival of actual monsoon. During last more than 72 hours rain is going on in almost every part of the district and as per the records it is maximum in Barkagaon and Churchu blocks of the district.On Sunday Barkagaon received 102.3 mm rainfall. On Monday it got 103.2 mm and on Tuesday till the filing of this report about 70 mm rainfall was recorded here. Churchu block of Hazaribagh district received the maximum rainfall of 131 mm on Monday 4th July and it was going on in full pace on Tuesday too.
This year Monday 4th July was the first day when the denizens came out of their houses with raincoats, umbrellas etc. to protect themselves from the rainwater. Since the drains are chocked so it looked difficult for the pedestrians to walk freely towards their destination.
