India faces erratic monsoon with drought and flood risks

The India Meteorological Department (IMD) forecasts below-normal rain and above-normal temperatures for August and September. Authorities are urging groundwater recharge efforts, with Odisha stepping up initiatives under the 'Catch the Rain' campaign.
