BHOPAL: What can be more ironical than the fact that many districts in MP are flooded, yet more than one fourth of Madhya Pradesh is rain-deficit when 80 days of monsoon are already over.
The rain-deficit is around 30% or more in 15 places in the state. The number of rain deficit districts have gone up compared to last fortnight. On July 28, 10 districts were rain deficit while the state was 22% surplus. Monsoon in MP is from June 1 to September 30.
