India is forecasted to receive normal monsoon rainfall this year, making good promises for the nation's farm industry and overall economic growth.
In the wake of heavy downpours in the hill states, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a rain alert across North and South India late Monday night, as the month of May kicked in.

“Light to moderate rainfall with a few spells of intense rain, thunderstorms & lighting are very likely to continue over parts of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, south interior Karnataka, northeast India, central & east Uttar Pradesh, West Bihar, East Madhya Pradesh, north Chhattisgarh and Jammu division during the next six hours,” the IMD said in the statement.
