Madhya Pradesh Records 37.7‑Inch Rainfall, Nearing Monsoon Quota

Madhya Pradesh reported a record 37.7 inches of rainfall in the last monsoon season, bringing the state close to its 40‑inch quota. The high rainfall has prompted the state government to prepare for the withdrawal of monsoon rains, which is expected to begin within the next week. Officials warn that the sudden drop in rainfall could lead to water shortages in some districts. The state’s agriculture department has issued advisories to farmers to manage the excess water and mitigate potential crop damage.
