Interplanetary Consequences of Coronal Mass Ejection Events occurred during 18--25 June 2015

In this paper, we review the preliminary results on the propagation effects and interplanetary consequences of fast and wide coronal mass ejection (CME) events, occurred during 18--25 June 2015, in the Sun-Earth distance range. The interplanetary scintillation (IPS) images reveal that the large-scale structures of CME-driven disturbances filled nearly the entire inner heliosphere with a range of speeds, $\sim$300--1000 {\kmps}. The comparison of speed data sets, from IPS technique results in the inner heliosphere and {\it in-situ} measurements at 1 AU, indicates that the drag force imposed by the low-speed wind dominated heliosphere on the propagation of CMEs may not be effective. The arrival of shocks at 1 AU suggests that a shock can be driven in the interplanetary medium by the central part of the moving CME and also by a different part away from its centre. The increased flux of proton at energies $>$10 MeV is consistent with the acceleration of particles by the shock ahead of the CME.
