Uneven monsoon in Punjab & Haryana: Paddy districts see deficient & excess rainfall; farmers monitor crops closely

While Punjab and Haryana have seen normal monsoon rainfall overall, distribution has been uneven across paddy-growing regions. Several key districts like Sangrur, Muktsar, and Bathinda in Punjab, and Ambala, Karnal, Kaithal, and Jind in Haryana, have recorded deficient rainfall. Conversely, some districts experienced excess rainfall, potentially impacting paddy crops differently across both states.
