**Rain-Related Incidents in Jharkhand Claim 458 Lives Between June and September**
*By Chanshimla Varah | October 9, 2025, 5:19 PM*
Jharkhand has witnessed its worst monsoon in a decade, with heavy rains from June to September claiming at least 458 lives. The season’s severe weather not only led to tragic fatalities but also caused extensive damage to homes and farmlands across the state.
**Casualties and Causes**
According to official data, lightning strikes were responsible for the deaths of 186 people, while 178 others drowned in various rain-related incidents. Additional casualties resulted from floods, landslides, and house collapses triggered by the intense rainfall.
**Impact on Housing and Agriculture**
The monsoon devastation extended beyond loss of life. A total of 467 houses were completely destroyed, and over 8,000 others suffered partial damage. Farmlands were severely affected as well, with crop losses reported across 2,390 hectares in districts such as Ranchi, Gumla, Lohardaga, and Simdega.
In Sahibganj district, rising water levels in the Ganga River displaced approximately 20,000 people, further highlighting the season’s widespread impact.
**Record-Breaking Rainfall**
The Ranchi Meteorological Centre recorded a total rainfall of 1,199.5 mm between June 1 and September 30 this year, marking an 18% increase over normal levels. Abhishek Anand, director of the center, explained that this was the highest rainfall the region has experienced in a decade. He attributed the unusual intensity to climate change and rising sea surface temperatures in the Bay of Bengal.
**Districts Most Affected**
Unusual meteorological activity in the Bay of Bengal contributed to repeated heavy downpours, especially in eastern and southeastern parts of Jharkhand. East Singhbhum recorded the highest rainfall at 1,669.5 mm, followed closely by Ranchi with 1,550.2 mm and Saraikela-Kharsawan at 1,526.3 mm. Each of these districts received more than 50% above normal rainfall for the season.
**Weather Outlook**
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has forecasted a “pink cold” or mild winter around Diwali and Chhath Puja celebrations. However, the severity of the upcoming winter season will depend on global factors such as the La Niña phenomenon and shifts in wind patterns.
While rainfall activity is currently declining, isolated moderate rain showers accompanied by thunder and lightning are expected to continue until October 12. Following this period, dry conditions are anticipated as the monsoon gradually withdraws.

**FDA Uncovers Counterfeit Allopathy and Ayurvedic Medicines in Pune Amid Nationwide Concern**
Amid growing nationwide concerns over counterfeit medicines, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has uncovered a shocking case in Pune involving fake allopathy and Ayurvedic medicines being supplied in the market.
In a disturbing revelation, paracetamol was reportedly being sold under the label of azithromycin, a widely used antibiotic. The FDA’s inspection further revealed adulteration not only in antibiotics but also among tablets used to control blood pressure and diabetes.
### Major Raids and Seizures
Between April and September, the FDA conducted raids that led to the seizure of counterfeit medicines worth ₹61.67 lakh from two manufacturers — an allopathy company based in Shikrapur and an Ayurvedic firm in Thane.
From the Shikrapur unit alone, fake azithromycin tablets along with adulterated medicines for diabetes and hypertension, valued at ₹55.62 lakh, were confiscated. Additionally, Ayurvedic medicines worth ₹6.05 lakh were seized during a separate operation.
“In the Pune division, we regularly inspect 66 manufacturers and sellers. Action has been taken against two companies between April and September this year, and samples from 15 locations were tested,” said Girish Hukre, Joint Commissioner, FDA, Pune Division.
### Public Health Concerns
Authorities confirmed that the Shikrapur-based company had supplied azithromycin tablets to certain municipal hospitals in Pune, raising serious concerns about patient safety. Cases have been registered against both manufacturers, and further investigations are ongoing.
Medical experts and pharmacists have demanded that the administration tighten surveillance measures to prevent counterfeit medicines from entering the city’s supply chain. Meanwhile, some drug dealers have questioned how many vendors had their licenses revoked for selling such fake products.
### Context: Rising Deaths Linked to Contaminated Medicines
These revelations come in the wake of several child deaths in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan linked to contaminated cough syrup. Following these tragic incidents, the FDA has intensified checks on cough syrups across the Pune division.
As a result, many local drug dealers have already stopped selling syrups from the suspected companies.
### Government Response and Future Measures
Health Minister Prakash Abitkar assured the public that strict action will be taken against those involved in manufacturing and supplying counterfeit medicines. He stated, “A Drug Detection Machine will soon be deployed across the state to ensure the quality of medicines. Government hospital supplies must match the quality standards of private institutions.”
Meanwhile, the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS) has issued an advisory recommending that cough syrups should not be given to children under two years of age, as the chemicals may not break down properly in their bodies and could have toxic effects. The advisory also cautions against administering such syrups to children under five years old, who are prone to adverse side effects.
