Monsoon situation almost drought-like: Ashok Gulati

With hopes of monsoon revival fading, Ashok Gulati, Chairman, Commission of Agricultural Costs & Prices, said that government must take steps to save crops.

"The issue as it stands today is very close to a drought situation and I feel the time to wait is almost over. It is time to act and save the crop wherever we can," Ashok Gulati said. 

With western India facing the dearth of rain the most, it seems that only magical recovery of rain in the coming weeks can change the situation.

Now, with the government ringing the warning bell of a possibility of drought, it seems that the time has come to take measures to save crops from adverse effects of depleted monsoon.
