Explanation:

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) announced to install seven new doppler radars in Maharashtra, including Mumbai. Doppler radars of varying frequencies — S-band, C-band and X-band — are commonly used by the IMD to detect and track the movement of weather systems, cloud bands and gauge rainfall over its coverage area of about 500 km. The radars guide meteorologists, particularly in times of extreme weather events like cyclones and associated heavy rainfall.
