New Delhi, Union Home Minister <keyword id="6355521" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amit-shah" source="Orion">Amit Shah</keyword> on Sunday took stock of the situation in the wake of incessant rains as he spoke to the chief ministers of Punjab and <keyword id="6358126" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="himachal-pradesh" source="Orion">Himachal Pradesh</keyword>, and the lieutenant governors of Delhi and Jammu and Kashmir, sources said. The home minister assured them all central help in tackling the arising situation.

The home minister also spoke to LG of the Jammu and Kashmir and took information about the Amarnath pilgrimage which was suspended due to heavy rains, sources said. Shah appreciated the National Disaster Response Force and the State Disaster Response Force for helping the Amarnath pilgrims in Jammu and Kashmir. "The NDRF and the SDRF have always stood tall in service to the nation and humanity despite all odds. Their role has been crucial in fulfilling our goal of providing a safer <keyword id="44352" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="amarnath-yatra" source="Orion">Amarnath Yatra</keyword> to every pilgrim. Sharing a photograph of an SDRF Jawan carrying a lady yatri on his back for 3 km through the unforgiving terrain of the Himalayas on her way back from the holy shrine. I applaud them for being the beacon of safety for the citizens," he tweeted. Torrential rains pounded several parts of north India on Sunday with 15 people killed in landslides and other rain-related incidents, while most rivers, including the Yamuna in Delhi, were in spate. In cities and towns across the region, many roads and residential areas were submerged in knee-deep water with the civic system unable to hold on in the face of record rains. Flash floods washed away roads in hilly areas, leaving people marooned, while authorities asked tourists to plan their visit after the weather improves. Heavy downpour warnings have been issued for certain areas of Jammu and Kashmir, Ladakh and Himachal Pradesh, while in Delhi, which recorded its highest rainfall in a single day in July since 1982, authorities have cautioned over rising water level of the Yamuna. In three sperate incidents of landslides in Himachal Pradesh, where a red alert of extremely heavy rains has been issued for seven districts, five people were killed. The Amarnath pilgrimage resumed on Sunday from Panjtarni and Sheshnag base camps after remaining suspended for three days due to inclement weather in Kashmir, officials said. As soon as the skies cleared around the cave shrine, authorities opened the gates and allowed the stranded devotees to offer prayers at the naturally formed ice-lingam in south Kashmir Himalayas, they said.

The official Facebook account for the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/texarkanatexas/posts/287678246727984" target="_blank" rel="noopener">City of Texarkana</a> shared a post and photo on Wednesday warning residents about "animal rain." According to <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/media/strange-rains-wbt/">National Geographic</a>, animal rain is when small animals like fish, bats, snakes, birds, and frogs get caught in <a href="https://www.nationalgeographic.org/encyclopedia/waterspout/print/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">waterspouts</a>, carried into the sky from the ground, and fall with raindrops. "2021 is pulling out all the tricks… including raining fish in Texarkana today, and no, this isn't a joke," the caption read. It continued that while uncommon, animal rain does happen once in a while."While it's uncommon, it happens, as evidenced in several places in Texarkana today," the caption read. The Facebook post was accompanied by a photo of a downed fish and asked residents to share pictures of the fallen fish they discovered.Texarkana resident James Audirsch told <a href="https://www.wcia.com/news/fish-rain-from-the-sky-in-eastern-texas-town-as-storms-moved-through/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WCIA</a> that he was with his co-worker when the fish rained down at a car dealership."There was a loud crack of thunder and when we opened up the bay door, I looked outside and it was raining real hard and a fish hit the ground," Audirsch told the outlet. "and then I said, 'It's raining fish!' Brad was like, 'No it's not,' and I'm like, 'No, it really is!' and fish were droppin' here and everywhere."Small fish — about 4 to 5 inches long — were reportedly sprinkled across the parking lot. Resident Tim Brigham told <a href="https://www.ksla.com/2021/12/30/fishy-day-fish-fall-sky-texarkana/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">KSLA</a> that he was at Discount Wheel and Tire when it started to pour."I didn't know what to say. I thought it was pretty cool. I started to get me a bucket and pick them up for fishing bait," Bringham said.The phenomenon had occurred in other places, including California in 2017 when small fish rained over an elementary school, <a href="https://www.mercurynews.com/2017/05/18/did-it-really-rain-fish-in-oroville-this-week/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Mercury News</a> reported.
