Jharkhand is inching towards a drought-like situation due to 45% rain deficit, leading to around 85% of the arable land in the state remaining fallow in the peak monsoon season, officials said. With delayed or scant rainfall in the early months of monsoon in the last few years, many farmers nowadays sow crops till mid-August but that does not lead to a good harvest, they said. Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren has also expressed concern over the situation.
