IMD to give state-wise monsoon forecast from '17
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) will give state-wise monsoon forecast from 2017, said Union Minister for Earth Sciences, Harsh Vardhan. This move will be further extended to include other seasons from 2018-19, said an official from the ministry. The IMD currently gives zone-specific daily forecast during the monsoon season for regions including central India and the southern peninsula.
