Indian monsoon: Weakest rainfall in 17 years could cut rice output by 10 million tonnes
The southwest monsoon began withdrawing from parts of extreme west Rajasthan, marking the beginning of the end of monsoon, even as India faces its worst drought in 17 years. The India Meteorological Department (IMD) said the withdrawal began later than the normal date of September 17, and conditions are favourable for it to extend to more areas of Rajasthan and parts of Punjab and Gujarat over the next three to four days.
