Chhattisgarh, which is roasting under intense heat wave for weeks, is feeling jubilated over the news that monsoon will hit State anytime next week via Bastar, weather department said in a bulletin on Saturday.
Chhattisgarh’s all water sources in villages such as ponds and smaller lakes have dried up and the State now reels under a severe water crisis and prediction for a weaker monsoon this year has raised worries.
Chhattisgarh’s farm sector is largely dependent on monsoon and any further delay in monsoon arrival or week monsoon spell in beginning could affect the kharif crops output mainly the paddy in the State, which is tagged as the rice bowl of the country.
local weather office confirmed that monsoon is all set to enter State through Bastar route anytime next week and it would take another seven days to cover entire State.
