IMD has advised farmers in interior Maharashtra, Marathwada and Vidarbha not to begin sowing as the soil is heated and the seeds require rainfall

New Delhi:
With the progress of the monsoon slowing over Karnataka, India MeteorologicalDepartment(IMD) has advised farmers in Maharashtra to postpone sowing seeds until the rains reach the state in the next four to five days.

“The Konkan region is getting pre-monsoon rains and will soon get monsoon too, but in interior Maharashtra and Marathwada, farmers are advised not to begin sowing as the soil is heated, and the seeds require rainfall when sown to grow into good crops,” said N. Chattopadhyay, deputy director general of agricultural meteorology division at IMD.

Marathwada is a drought-hit area of Maharashtra, and farmer suicides in the region, comprising eight districts, have been rising. Over 1,100 farmers committed suicide in Marathwada in 2015, as per government statistics.

In March this year, the Maharashtra government declared drought in 11,962 villages in the Vidarbha region, taking the total number of suchvillages to 27,723 —nearly half the 43,000 villages in the state.

At least 11 states, including Maharashtra, have declared drought in over 266 districts of the country affecting at least 330 million people.
