&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The government on Tuesday admitted that a drought-like situation may prevail in parts of western India and said contingency plans were being worked out to ensure drinking water and fodder in distressed areas.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Monsoon is delayed&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Western India is expected to be worst affected and drought like situation might prevail in some pockets,&amp;quot; agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh was quoted as saying in a PTI report. The assessment will add to the inflationary pressures that the government is already grappling with.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
On Wednesday , the Cabinet is slated to consider a proposal to make 5 million tonnes of foodgrain available to states as a measure to keep food prices in check.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Though the Met has pre dicted an improved monsoon from July 6, the July 4-8 forecast does not predict rain in many areas of western India. The rain deficit in western Gujarat is 91% as of now, and 80% in Marathwada. Monsoon activity is expected to increase along the west coast.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Area under kharif crops last week decreased to 131.52 lakh hectares from 200.96 lakh hectares as compared to last year. Some states have issued specific advisories to farmers to delay sowing and not tap ground water just yet.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The minister&#039;s comments reflect the assessment that a delayed and sub-normal monsoon will hurt states like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh more given their higher dependence on rains to sustain crops. These areas, along with north west India, are likely to receive less rains. But unlike Haryana and Punjab their irrigation networks are not so widespread or as well supplied. Singh said Maharashtra&#039;s Vidarbha region &amp;shy; prone to farm distress as rains are crucial to moderating temperatures &amp;shy; is likely to be hit by the lack of rainfall.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
IMD&#039;s Tuesday reports said the monsoon has arrived in Himachal and Uttarkhand and parts of UP and is due to reach Delhi shortly. As compared to the normal progress by July 1, the monsoon is lagging in eastern Madhya Pradesh, east and north Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. Having recorded a shortfall of 43% in June, the monsoon is likely to be fairly active over north-east and east India.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Heat conditions of 42 degree plus temperatures with recorded in coastal Andhra Pradesh and eastern Madhya Pradesh.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Temperatures remains 5-7% above normal in parts of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. Also in pockets of Arunachal, Assam and north interior Karnataka.

The rain deficit in western Gujarat is 91% as of now, and 80% in Marathwada. Monsoon activity is expected to increase along the west coast.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Area under kharif crops last week decreased to 131.52 lakh hectares from 200.96 lakh hectares as compared to last year.

As compared to the normal progress by July 1, the monsoon is lagging in eastern Madhya Pradesh, east and north Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. Having recorded a shortfall of 43% in June, the monsoon is likely to be fairly active over north-east and east India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Heat conditions of 42 degree plus temperatures with recorded in coastal Andhra Pradesh and eastern Madhya Pradesh.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Temperatures remains 5-7% above normal in parts of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh.

Parts of West India stare at drought

-The Times of India The government on Tuesday admitted that a drought-like situation may prevail in parts of western India and said contingency plans were being worked out to ensure drinking water and fodder in distressed areas. Monsoon is delayed Western India is expected to be worst affected and drought like situation might prevail in some pockets," agriculture minister Radha Mohan Singh was quoted as saying in a PTI report. The assessment will add to the inflationary pressures that the government is already grappling with. On Wednesday , the Cabinet is slated to consider a proposal to make 5 million tonnes of foodgrain available to states as a measure to keep food prices in check. Though the Met has pre dicted an improved monsoon from July 6, the July 4-8 forecast does not predict rain in many areas of western India. The rain deficit in western Gujarat is 91% as of now, and 80% in Marathwada. Monsoon activity is expected to increase along the west coast. Area under kharif crops last week decreased to 131.52 lakh hectares from 200.96 lakh hectares as compared to last year. Some states have issued specific advisories to farmers to delay sowing and not tap ground water just yet. The minister's comments reflect the assessment that a delayed and sub-normal monsoon will hurt states like Gujarat, Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh more given their higher dependence on rains to sustain crops. These areas, along with north west India, are likely to receive less rains. But unlike Haryana and Punjab their irrigation networks are not so widespread or as well supplied. Singh said Maharashtra's Vidarbha region ­ prone to farm distress as rains are crucial to moderating temperatures ­ is likely to be hit by the lack of rainfall. IMD's Tuesday reports said the monsoon has arrived in Himachal and Uttarkhand and parts of UP and is due to reach Delhi shortly. As compared to the normal progress by July 1, the monsoon is lagging in eastern Madhya Pradesh, east and north Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana. Having recorded a shortfall of 43% in June, the monsoon is likely to be fairly active over north-east and east India. Heat conditions of 42 degree plus temperatures with recorded in coastal Andhra Pradesh and eastern Madhya Pradesh. Temperatures remains 5-7% above normal in parts of Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Madhya Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh. Also in pockets of Arunachal, Assam and north interior Karnataka.
