Meghalaya Faces Dry July

Meghalaya, known for its lush green landscapes and heavy monsoon rains, has witnessed an unusually dry July this year. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has reported a rainfall deficit across most districts in the state. This dry spell has raised concerns among farmers and residents, who are worried about the potential impact on agriculture and water supply. The state's agriculture sector, which is a significant contributor to the local economy, may face challenges due to the lack of rainfall. The dry weather conditions have also increased the risk of wildfires in the region.
