During the month of Kartika there will be heavy rain again causing hardships to people, he said and added that there will be an outbreak of epidemics and increase in man-animal conflicts.

The seer predicted that poisonous creatures will emerge from the earth and create problems and there will be also be more fire mishaps. This apart, a great leader will have an untimely death and there will be communal unrest, he said.

He said that it will be the last phase of COVID-19, which, he said, will end by 2023. However, it will force miseries upon people, he added.
