State, which is still reeling under the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, is now staring at a drought-like situation: Hemant Soren

Ranchi: The rainfall measurement in Jharkhand — inadequate till now — has become a matter of concern.

“The state, which is still reeling under the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, is now staring at a drought-like situation,” a worried chief minister Hemant Soren said while addressing a gathering in Dumka recently.

He said that scanty rainfall has hit farming activities and the figures available from the meteorological department were not encouraging either.

This has affected the sowing process in the state as the sowing of paddy was recorded as less than 15 per cent, on average, across the state with some districts a much lower figure.

According to Ranchi Meteorological Centre (RMC), Jharkhand received 203.6mm of rainfall between June 1 and July 22. which showed a deficit of 51 per cent against the normal rainfall of 414.9mm during the period.

“Farmers who apprehend crop loss are advised to get them registered online,” agriculture minister Badal Patralekh informed in Ranchi the same day, adding the state could pay them compensation under Jharkhand Rajya Fasal Rahat Yojana, a crop relief scheme, in such cases.
