Several districts of the state have been receiving heavy rainfall since Friday morning.
The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued a red alert (isolated heavy to extremely heavy rainfall) for almost two-thirds of the 24 districts in the state.
The current spell of rain in the state is due to the low-pressure system that has built up over the Bay of Bengal, Abhishek Anand, director in-charge, meteorological department, Jharkhand, told Hindustan Times.
