Cherrapunjee's forest fire: Need immediate control measure
Forest fire, an anti environmental human activity, is becoming a great threat for eco restoration of Cherrapunjee-the site famous as wettest place on earth. Human's carelessness, negligence and ignorance are the main causes of annual ground fire resulting into pronounced and prolonged ill effect on climate, land use, land cover, biodiversity and forest ecosystem.

Districtwise drought climatology of the Southwest monsoon season over India based on standardized precipitation index (SPI)
In this new study IMD examines district-wise and all India drought climatology over India for southwest monsoon season using using Percent of Normal(PN) & Standardized Precipitation Index(SPI).Compares drought climatology based on SPI with that based on PN to show that SPI is a better index for monitoring drought conditions over smaller spatial scales like districts, subdivisions etc.
