RAINS AND hailstorm are likely to lash eastern Madhya Pradesh during the next 24 hours under the influence of an upper air circulation system prevailing over northern Madhya Pradesh.

The met office has issued a warning of hailstorm in next 24 hours for Gwalior, Chambal, Sagar, Jabalpur and Rewa divisions.
