As the monsoon moves into its concluding stage, water levels in the state's reservoirs remain insufficient to meet full capacity.
The monsoon season, now in its last leg, has not yet filled the major reservoirs across the state. Despite several weeks of rainfall, water levels continue to lag behind expected marks, prompting concerns among water resource officials. Authorities are monitoring inflows closely as the remaining weeks of the monsoon approach, hoping for additional precipitation to boost storage. The shortfall could affect agricultural irrigation and drinking water supply if the trend persists. Officials have urged the public to conserve water while awaiting any further rainfall to improve the situation.
