Maharashtra is currently facing a significant rainfall deficit. The El Niño phenomenon is being cited as a major reason for this shortage. The state's agricultural sector, which is heavily reliant on rainfall, is likely to be affected by this deficit. The Indian monsoon season is crucial for the country's agricultural production, and a deficit in rainfall can have far-reaching consequences. The Maharashtra government will be closely monitoring the situation to assess the impact of the rainfall deficit on the state's agriculture and economy.
